llama.cpp Release b11882 Introduces Grammar Recursion Depth Limit
llama.cpp release b11882 introduces a specific bug fix that limits grammar recursion depth. This update is designed to prevent program crashes caused by stack overflows during complex grammar parsing. This fix enhances the overall stability and reliability of running local large language models, particularly when enforcing strict structured outputs or custom grammar constraints. It prevents unexpected disruptions for developers and users who rely on local inference pipelines. The update corresponds to pull requests #29495 and #29755 within the repository. It is a targeted stability patch rolled out as part of the ongoing build releases for the project.
## BACKGROUND
llama.cpp is an open-source software library designed to perform inference on various large language models using C and C++. It is widely used as a standard core component for running local AI models across different hardware platforms.
