Initial Value

:error

Description

This variable controls behavior when stack overflow occurs.

When *stack-overflow-behaviour* is set to :error , LispWorks signals an error.

When it is set to :warn , LispWorks increases the stack size automatically to accommodate the overflow, but prints a warning message to signal that this has happened.

When it is set to nil , LispWorks increases stack size silently.
