When opening a file ran into StackOverflow and Eclipse asking to exit (on Eclipse 4.3.0 only?)

When opening a file below ran into StackOverflow and Eclipse asking to exit

https://github.com/felixge/node-mysql/blob/master/Readme.md

(Eclipse failed to start, only renaming project folder (thus making Readme.md unavailable) )

There is definitely circular calls, with no visible class to blame (stack too long).

 Unhandled event loop exception

eclipse.buildId=4.3.0.I20130605-2000

Thanks for the bug report Paul, and sorry about the bug.
I think I have a lead on this one -- will investigate today...

Has baby grown up already ? :-)

Will be great if you can devote some time again.

Hi Paul,

Sorry, I have to report drawing a blank on this bug.
When I try the example file, it works fine for me.

I have seen stack-overflows myself occasionally -- thought I had some
likely test cases -- but no.

There's only one use of Pattern in the plugin code itself
(MarkdownPage.multiMarkdownTag).
I don't think that could cause a stackoverflow.

What version of Eclipse and what OS are you running?
Do you get this error every time you open the file, or is it intermittent?

Thank you &
Best regards,

• Daniel

At work and at home Windows 7 with Eclipse 4.3.x (above version is reported as 4.3.0)

I have just tried again with 4.3.1 and it was OK.

Not quite -- but only a decade or so to go.

If the bug goes away on upgrade -- I guess we mark this one as a yeti;
something slightly broken in one version of Eclipse and fixed in the next.

Best regards,

I think this issue should be opened with wontfix tag, so that users know they may need to update Eclipse.

Otherwise README should be updated to say that there is bug on 4.3.0

Good point. - Dan

I run in comparable issue (at least same stack according jvisualvm. Stil no StackOverflow due to 64bit JVM. I'm at eclipse 4.3.2v20140221... It happened today two times during Java comment source editing.
I found on internet a few bug reports on the regexp in Java (JDK-6882582).
Not sure how to find the misbehaving regex.

[paulvi]

@eremmel Can you reproduce now as of 2015 with Luna ?

[paulvi]

I don't have problem with https://raw.githubusercontent.com/felixge/node-mysql/master/Readme.md on Luna

[jiangxincode]

Maybe the file is too large. I guess.
