hum, looking at the code I'm wondering if producer_plugin::process_blocks() has some possible unbounded recursion (probably not likely at all though).

The post starts a new thread stack. If it did dispatch then it could potentially be unbounded recursion.

Yes, but the post calls process_incoming_blocks(process_incoming_blocks); which calls itself recursively, so just executing the posted task could cause a stack overflow right?

No.

process_incoming_blocks -> calls on_incoming_block, then calls post( process_incoming_blocks ), and then current stack ends

The post'ed task is picked up to execute:

process_incoming_blocks -> calls on_incoming_block, then calls post( process_incoming_blocks ), and then current stack ends

etc.

How did I miss that. Thanks for pointing it out!
