[Mono-dev] [PATCH] don't write stack trace on stackoverflow

[Kornél Pál]

Hi,

I don't see any reason to hide the stack trace of StackOverflowException.
Stack trace helps tracking exceptions. If you want to hide automatic stack
traces printed by the runtime you should use try-catch blocks. Unless it has
advantages over printing the stack trace we should not hide it just to copy
MS.NET behavior.

What's the point of not to write stack trace on stack overflow?
