The json.encode() used to cause a segfault in case of recursive
table:
  tbl = {}
  tbl[1] = tbl
  json.encode(tbl)

Library doesn't test whether given object on Lua stack parsed
earlier, because it performs a lightweight in-depth traverse
of Lua stack. However it must stop when encode_max_depth is
reached (by design).

Tarantool's lua_cjson implementation has a bug introduced during
porting original library: it doesn't handle some corner cases:
entering into a map correctly increases a current depth, while
entering into an array didn't. This patch adopts author's
approach to check encode_max_depth limit. Thanks to handling this
constraint correctly the segfault no longer occurs.

Closes #4366

Tarantool is an in-memory database and application server.

Key features of the application server:

  • 100% compatible drop-in replacement for Lua 5.1, based on LuaJIT 2.1. Simply use #!/usr/bin/tarantool instead of #!/usr/bin/lua in your script.
  • full support for Lua modules and a rich set of own modules, including cooperative multitasking, non-blocking I/O, access to external databases, etc

Key features of the database:

  • ANSI SQL, including views, joins, referential and check constraints
  • MsgPack data format and MsgPack based client-server protocol
  • two data engines: 100% in-memory with optional persistence and an own implementation of LSM-tree, to use with large data sets
  • multiple index types: HASH, TREE, RTREE, BITSET
  • asynchronous master-master replication
  • authentication and access control
  • the database is just a C extension to the application server and can be turned off

Supported platforms are Linux/x86 and FreeBSD/x86, Mac OS X.

Tarantool is ideal for data-enriched components of scalable Web architecture: queue servers, caches, stateful Web applications.
