Hi Fred,
I think that because C# on top of CLR is completely 'managed' - ie. memory
and stack allocations are handled under the cover.
C#/managed are compiled to IL - code is run in a virtual machine
environment.
There is also a set of API to allow finer control over memory allocation
for hosts in the coming version of .Net Framework.
Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan

| Thanks for the information and it is good to know there is a work-around.
|
| However, I see that the solution requires writing in C++ and use of the
| "_asm" keyword. Perhaps there is no way for C# to accomplish the same
thing
| in a "managed" way? I'm sure the C# designers have plenty on their plates
| already, but it would be nice to see the stack growth handled
automatically,
| or perhaps through a more "C# pure" exception handler.
|
| But the information you provided is useful to me. I am working on a
| Prolog-like system where recursion is often a substitute for loops.
