 NAME
      Tcl_SetRecursionLimit  -  set  maximum  allowable  nesting  depth   in
      interpreter

 SYNOPSIS
      #include <tcl.h>

      int
      Tcl_SetRecursionLimit(interp, depth)

 ARGUMENTS
      Tcl_Interp   *interp   (in)      Interpreter whose recursion limit  is
                                       to  be  set.   Must  be  greater than
                                       zero.

      int          depth     (in)       New  limit  for  nested   calls   to
                                       Tcl_Eval for interp.

 DESCRIPTION
      At any given time Tcl enforces a limit  on  the  number  of  recursive
      calls  that  may be active for Tcl_Eval and related procedures such as
      Tcl_GlobalEval.  Any call to  Tcl_Eval  that  exceeds  this  depth  is
      aborted with an error.  By default the recursion limit is 1000.

      Tcl_SetRecursionLimit may be used  to  change  the  maximum  allowable
      nesting  depth for an interpreter.  The depth argument specifies a new
      limit for interp, and Tcl_SetRecursionLimit returns the old limit.  To
      read    out    the    old   limit   without   modifying   it,   invoke
      Tcl_SetRecursionDepth with depth equal to 0.
