Self referencing datatypes

Self referencing datatypes

Summary

If a datatype is self referencing, that in of itself is not an issue, however, if we attempt to do basic operations with the datatype you'll more than likely be hit with a segfault due to an infinite recursion.

Examples

Resolved

var x = [1];
x.push(x);
print(x); // Segfault

>>> const x = [1, 2];
>>> x.push(x);
>>> x == x; // Segfault

>>> import JSON;
>>> const x = [1, 2];
>>> x.push(x);
>>> JSON.stringify(x); // Segfault
