Recursive contract that will infinitely call itself

Question

I want to create a contract so that when eth_call is called, the contract returns EVM error: CallTooDeep

Tried something like this:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: CC0-1.0
pragma solidity ^0.8.17;

contract CallTooDeep {
    function test() public {
        address(this).test();
    }
}

But gets an error:

TypeError: Member "test" not found or not visible after argument-dependent lookup in address.
 --> contracts/CallTooDeep.sol:6:9:
  |
6 |         address(this).test();
  |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Error HH600: Compilation failed

How I can fix this error?

Answer 1

You can't just call the function by its name if there is no imported interface providing the function.

try this:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: CC0-1.0
pragma solidity ^0.8.17;

contract CallToDeep {
    function test() public {
       CallToDeep(address(this)).test();
    }
}

Answer 3

You need to define your function test() before it can be called.
