Self Doubt:Infinite loop

Question

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int i=0;
void a()
{
i+=1;
cout<<i<< ".hello"<<endl;
a();
}

int main()
{
a();
}

For this above code the output is only upto →  64891.Hello

Does this mean that that the stack can hold only 64891 recursive calls? (I am using dev c++)

Comments

upto infinity, no certain point there

---

dev gives output upto 64891.. and my question is also based on this that why upto 64891? is the stack capacity only that?

---

43169.hello

I run the same code in ubuntu terminal and each time I executed the code, it shows me a different value of 'i' around 5 lakhs with a message segmentation fault (core dumped)
