您应该将递归函数调用包装到

• setTimeout，
• setImmediate 要么
• process.nextTick

函数使node.js有机会清除堆栈。如果您不这样做，并且有很多循环没有任何 真正的
异步函数调用，或者如果您不等待回调，那么您RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded将 不可避免 。

有很多有关“潜在异步循环”的文章。这是一个。

现在再看一些示例代码：

// ANTI-PATTERN
// THIS WILL CRASH

var condition = false, // potential means "maybe never"
    max = 1000000;

function potAsyncLoop( i, resume ) {
    if( i < max ) {
        if( condition ) { 
            someAsyncFunc( function( err, result ) { 
                potAsyncLoop( i+1, callback );
            });
        } else {
            // this will crash after some rounds with
            // "stack exceed", because control is never given back
            // to the browser 
            // -> no GC and browser "dead" ... "VERY BAD"
            potAsyncLoop( i+1, resume ); 
        }
    } else {
        resume();
    }
}
potAsyncLoop( 0, function() {
    // code after the loop
    ...
});

这是对的：

var condition = false, // potential means "maybe never"
    max = 1000000;

function potAsyncLoop( i, resume ) {
    if( i < max ) {
        if( condition ) { 
            someAsyncFunc( function( err, result ) { 
                potAsyncLoop( i+1, callback );
            });
        } else {
            // Now the browser gets the chance to clear the stack
            // after every round by getting the control back.
            // Afterwards the loop continues
            setTimeout( function() {
                potAsyncLoop( i+1, resume ); 
            }, 0 );
        }
    } else {
        resume();
    }
}
potAsyncLoop( 0, function() {
    // code after the loop
    ...
});

现在您的循环可能变得太慢，因为我们每回合会浪费一点时间（一次浏览器往返）。但是您不必setTimeout每次都跟注。通常，每千次可以这样做。但这可能会有所不同，具体取决于您的堆栈大小：

var condition = false, // potential means "maybe never"
    max = 1000000;

function potAsyncLoop( i, resume ) {
    if( i < max ) {
        if( condition ) { 
            someAsyncFunc( function( err, result ) { 
                potAsyncLoop( i+1, callback );
            });
        } else {
            if( i % 1000 === 0 ) {
                setTimeout( function() {
                    potAsyncLoop( i+1, resume ); 
                }, 0 );
            } else {
                potAsyncLoop( i+1, resume ); 
            }
        }
    } else {
        resume();
    }
}
potAsyncLoop( 0, function() {
    // code after the loop
    ...
});
