int main(){
main();
}

[rocky condor]

this is undefined behavior in c++, use c if you want this

[ocean snow]

Wait wtf would happen

[heavy dust]

technically ub but it'll be fine on any sane compiler

[heavy dust]

it'll just call itself repeatedly and then segfault

Or get optimized away because that's legal too

stack overflow, no?

[proven pivot]

This is actually something known as user optimization

You see, it’s only a matter of time before your program segfaults, gets caught in a loop, or just plain doesn’t work. By writing code like this you speed this process up for the computer and make it more efficient

are you takking about my dad

i dont do drugs lol

he did

[azure compass]

I wouldn't be so sure to say this - I've seen people's code break on calling main when it would theoretically work

[heavy dust]

I’d be interested to see any examples of it breaking

[azure compass]

I'm not sure if I can find the question again but it was a menu system and they were calling main instead of putting it into a loop
