Here is some program

• prog.cpp ---

template <int N>
int foo()
{
return (foo<N-1>() + 2);
}

template
int foo<0>()
{
return 0;
}

int main()
{
int value = foo<300>();
return value;
}

---

Compilation:

> /usr/vacpp/bin/xlC_r -q64 -qwarn64 prog.cpp
"prog.cpp", line 2.5: 1540-0701 (S) The limit on nested template instantiations
has been exceeded while instantiating "int foo<250>()".

============================

Question-1. Is there any compilation option or pragma that enables the user
to increase the template-related recursion deep/limit?

Question-2. Does any xlC's description contains the exact value of that limit?

Thanks,
