           Summary: writeln doesn't detect recursive data structures yet
           Product: D
           Version: 2.040
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: druntime

import std.stdio, std.boxer;
void main() {
    auto a = new Box[1];
    a[0] = box(a);
    writeln(a); // Error: Stack Overflow
}

Produces a stack overflow, the writeln isn't able to detect loops yet.

In Python the print is able to detect loops:

>>> l = [1, 2]
>>> l[1] = l
>>> print l
[1, [...]]

Got a newer example maybe? std.boxer is long gone.

Simple example:

import std.stdio;
import std.string;

class A
{
    B b;
    override string toString() { return format("A(%s)", b.toString()); }
}

class B
{
    A a;
    override string toString() { return format("B(%s)", a.toString()); }
}

void main() {
    auto a = new A;
    auto b = new B;
    a.b = b;
    b.a = a;
    writeln(a);
}

But why is this set for Druntime and to Sean Kelly? This is a Phobos issue imo.

Maybe I was ignorant. Fixed.
