------- Comment #4 from gcc at magfr dot user dot lysator dot liu dot se 2006-04-06 12:08 ------- The standard says the limit have to be more than 17, the g++ default is 500 in order, I assume, to be nice to users.
The reason I reported the bug was that the compiler terminated with an internal error instead of a controlled error. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27052
