Ciao!

How are you?

I have been using my own crypto based on AES, with an additional 512 rounds, but my program is not working anymore and have no idea to get around this, the error:

The not liking code is:

const settings = require('./settings');

module.exports = (crypto, cipherPipe, password) => {

    const roundCipher = (lastCipherPipe) => {
        const newCipher = crypto(settings.cypher, password);
        newCipher.on('error', (err) => {throw err} );
        return lastCipherPipe.pipe(newCipher)
    }

    let round = 0;
    while(round++ < settings.rounds) {
        cipherPipe = roundCipher(cipherPipe);
    }
    return cipherPipe;
}

Oh, it only started doing this error since like 8.2 i think, all before since like 6.7 it was working.

I fixed it like this:

const settings = require('./settings');
const utils = require('corifeus-utils')

module.exports = async (crypto, cipherPipe, password) => {

    const { resolve, reject, promise} = utils.promise.deferred();

    const roundCipher = (lastCipherPipe) => {
        const newCipher = crypto(settings.cypher, password);
        newCipher.on('error', (err) => {throw err} );
        return lastCipherPipe.pipe(newCipher)
    }

    /*
    let round = 0;
    while(round++ < settings.rounds) {
        cipherPipe = roundCipher(cipherPipe);
    }
    */

    let round = 0;
    const tick = () => {
        setTimeout(() => {
            if (round++ > settings.rounds - 1) {
                resolve(cipherPipe);
            } else {
                cipherPipe = roundCipher(cipherPipe);
                tick();
            }
        }, 10)
    }
    tick();

    return promise;
}

process.tick() was not working, but still, why is this an error?

Well, the problem is if I want to encrypt a bigger folder like 25MB then I get the same error, so it is not a very good hack. Do you have an idea to make it work without this error?
Why I get a RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded or why can't I just set in code the allowed stack size?

This looks like it should have been posted to the help repo instead. I'll close this out, can reopen if there is reason to believe it's a bug in node.js itself.
