诡异的JVM Crash之EXCEPTION_STACK_OVERFLOW

关于JVM的一个常识是：如果对象被意外地持有很容易造成内存泄漏，而如果同时又在不停地生成新对象，就有很大的机率造成内存溢出。通常情况下，这种溢出会导致JVM抛出OutOfMemoryError，然后JVM挂起。

可是来试试下面的代码，真是让人有点诧异，分别在JDK1.4、JDK5、JDK6上都表现一致。

package crash;

public class JVMCrashTest {



public static void main(String[] args) {

try {

testCrash();

} catch (Throwable t) {

t.printStackTrace();

System.out.println("catch an exception! I'm dead!");

}

}



/**

* JVM挂掉，core dump

*/

static void testCrash() {

Object[] o = null;

int line = 0;

while (true) {

o = new Object[] { o };

line++;

if (line % 1000 == 0) {

System.out.println(line);

}

}

}



}

没有机会抓异常，JVM直接Crash。Windows上会有hs_err日志产生，好一个EXCEPTION_STACK_OVERFLOW。Linux上面连日志都没有，直接segment fault。
