Keeping the counter in a static exposed some weird behavior in sass/node-sass#1669 (comment). This PR should fix that particular issue. I believe this is due to thread safety. Not sure how they do it, but the behavior we see is the following:
At the decrement,
recursions
at some point contains a0
, therefore the decrement will overflow the unsigned value to 4294967295, which will then trigger the error check. For me this can only mean that the static variable got initialized again on the same thread. Moving the variable to the class will make sure that every context uses their own memory for this counter. Still, LibSass is not guaranteed or considered to be 100% thread safe (mostly due to the lack of anybody really verifying it).
