Infinite Loop

How about using the ruby profiler??

$> ruby -r profile my_program.rb

It takes forever to run, but the ouput is useful in identifying which
function calls take up most of the processing time, how many times each is
called, etc.

Hi everybody,

I 've written a fairly big ruby programm that works mostly ok.
Sometimes the programm seems to enter an infinite loop :frowning: Does anyone
have a neat idea, how to debug this problem? Perhaps there is a hook
in the interpreter to count recursive method calls that I can exploit
or something similar?

thanks in advance,
George Moschovitis
