Exceeded the maximum call stack inside an async function leads to an uncaught promise, even if await is used properly #778

Description

@wryun

Running:

async function x() { 
    await x(); 
} 
(async function () { 
    try { 
        await x(); 
    } catch (e) { 
        console.log(e); 
    } 
})() 

Leads to an uncaught promise:

; node t.js
(node:434) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 2): RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

Running the same thing with babel transpiling to bluebird coroutines works fine. I guess there are two questions?

  • is this a bug?
  • if it is a bug, should I be filing it against node or v8?
