Current print limits are not enough

That’s something I had on my mind to the point I thought I implemented it.

10-wide, 7-deep by default is still huge: if one prints a bomb (a tree with a branching factor of 10) it yields 10^7 nodes without a single elision....

There should be a limit on the number of values printed, no?

like an absolute maximum per print?

is it even possible to have a global max, given that print is implemented recursively?

cough set! cough

🙂

or you can be pure and gives each recursive call its allowance (which will be dubdivided etc.)

The actual problem is that @gcast reports hanging all clients with the return value of datomic/transact.

oh yeah I remember having that problem too

not with unrepl but before

Rather than sprinkling (set! bottle-of-beers (dec bottle-of-beers)) everywhere is to use the output stream

once more than N chars have been printed, elide everything else

I think that's a good "last resort" thing

although it should still close quotes, parentheses etc..

it would still crash on super-long strings...

sure: it’s not that the output stram would refuse printing but it would set a flag (that the printer would check in the same way it checks other limits) before recursing

we have a setting for string elision already

right forgot about that

but a super long symbol or keyword would do the trick

draws a line in the sand

(keyword (apply str (repeat 1e6 "unrepl0wn3d!")))

hahaha
