I am attempting to port a C code that runs OK on a number of Linux and Unix
machines to Windows XP using Visual Studio C++. I have set the program up as
a console application, but when I try to run it I get a stack overflow:
Unhandled exception at 0x0041e715 in NewMD.exe: 0xC00000FD: Stack overflow.
The call stack is:
NewMD.exe!_chks tk() Line 91
NewMD.exe!mainC RTStartup() Line 259 +0x19
kernel32.dll!77 e814c()
All this appears to be happening before my C code actually does anything.
Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it
Thanks

It could be the allocation of some very large object. For example, a static
class variable that is very large. If the stack space is smaller for your
windows program than your unix program, the variable might not fit. Either
increase stack size or allocate such objects dynamically (i.e. on the
heap).

There are number of reasons for stack overflow exception. As Daniel pointed,
program (a function??) could be allocating a very large stack space.Or,
- You are copying something to a variable on the stack, and buffer exceeds
bounds of the stack
- You are recursively calling a function and that never ends
- Incorrect function pointer casting
These are all I can think right now.

My program causes StackOverflow because it makes many recursive calls due to
the program's nature (not a bug!).
I would like to know if there is any settings in the compiler or VS.NET IDE
so that I can increase the stack size to prevent the overflow error.
Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone!
It is indeed, once again time for me to ask another stupid question.
I have been searching around on the net for quite a while, and can't
find anything that explains 'exactly' what a stack overflow is, or how
it's detected. I know that it's leterally putting too many objects on
the stack, but how many objects can you have on the stack, or do OSs
only allow a certain number of recursive calls to functions?

I know this is a very fundamental question. I am still quite confused
if the program call stack stack should always grows upwards from the
bottom, or the opposite, or doesn't matter??
That means the stack pointer should go upwards when there are "push"
operations,
and stack pointer should go downards when there are "pop" operations??
If this is the case, the address should go upwards (increasing) or
downards (decreasing) then? i.e....

We know that C programs are often vulnerable to buffer overflows which
overwrite the stack.
But my question is: Why does C insist on storing local variables on the

I can see two definite disadvantages with this:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
