Hi Pemb,

Thanks. Sorry that my question was not that clear before. Well let me
make the picture very clear. My question is from Stack overflow point
of view.If you write an infinite loop simply, it will crash after some
time. Similarly, if we call main() within main (),
it will crash after some time definitely due to stack overflow !

Thats not a loop, thats recursion. Infinite recursion is impossible
without infinite memory.

So, I think that the buffer overflow method will let me my program to
execute on an infinite way, with no SIGSEGV.

I don't know what on earth you mean by "buffer overflow method". If
you overflow a buffer, your programme may crash, work, or damage other
programmes or systems. This isn't a method.

I hope, now you can let me know more information on my query.

Explan what you are really trying to do, not what you think you need,
in order to achieve it.

If you want to climb a tall building, ask how to climb tall buildings,
don't ask whether nylon or hemp makes better ropes.
