Daryle, we still should come to a decision regarding this issue. Can't we just make the change and check if there are any new test failures caused by it? Markus Schöpflin wrote:

What happens on systems, like mine, that already have sufficient recursive depth? Will specifying a maximum lower that the default actually lower the setting? If so, then this addition could be dangerous.
If your toolset supports setting the recursion depth (gcc, qcc, acc, and hp_cxx at the moment), it will be set to the value specified. So yes, it might lower the default setting.
But why should this be dangerous? The recursion depth needed to compile a program is independent of the toolset, isn't it? So if for a given compiler a value lower than the default value is used, there should be no harm.
