stack size limit ?

[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Une_B=E9v?==?ISO-8859-1?Q?ue?=]

does exist a constant in JavScript (UA dependent) telling us the stack
size limit ?

from google I've found 1000 for Firefox, 100 for Safari 3
verified experimetally

The latest Webkit accepts a stack size of 5655 (on Mac OS X 10.4.11)

There are many stacks [li-fo memory] in JS.

Do you mean the subroutine/function stack?
This was discussed here in this NG recently for recursion.

Or the mathmatical parser stack?

Or ...?

Nope, I don't think so.

However, in most cases the stack size would _not_ equal the number of
recursions a stack can support:
