Hey, is there a limit to the stack size? I realize of course there must be,
but how is this determined/set? Or does it self adjust up to, say, available
memory (and possibly virtual memory from hard drives)? My current project
can be set to be from very-stack-intensive to not-so-stack-intensive. The
more stack-intensive it is the faster the code will run, but it can
conceivable want to put huge amounts of info on the stack (there are
potentiqlly recursive processes involved).
Can I determine such things as max stack size (read/write), total stack
already used (read), etc.?
[==P==]

Have a look at "Thread Stack Size" in MSDN.

MVP VC++ FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/vcfaq Hey, is there a limit to the stack size? I realize of course there must be,
but how is this determined/set?
The default size is set in the executable's header (IMAGE_OPTIONAL _HEADER.SizeOfS tackReserve,
IMAGE_OPTIONAL_ HEADER.SizeOfSt ackCommit). It can be changed
using /stack linker option, or by the second parameter of CreateThread function.
Or does it self adjust up to, say, available memory (and possibly virtual memory from hard drives)?
Reserved size cannot grow, committed size can grow up to the reserved size (when the reserved size
is reached, stack overflow exception is thrown).
Can I determine such things as max stack size (read/write),
You should look at the size of the virtual memory region reserved for the stack, using any tool
that can display virtual memory map (e.g. WinDbg's !address and !vadump commands).
Programmaticall y you can check it using VirtualQuery function.
Here you can find some related information:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;315937
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...setstkoflw.asp
total stack already used (read), etc.?
In debugger, you can use this in Watch window (when debugging in Native mode):
Currently committed size:
((unsigned long*)@TIB)[1] - ((unsigned long*)@TIB)[2]
Currently used size:
((unsigned long*)@TIB)[1] - ESP

Last night I was reading about implementing my own stack. The example
given pushes items on and off the stack at the start and end of each

would work with class objects. In this case do you have to push the
object on the stack at the start of every public procedure etc. in the
class and pop it off at the end? I can't see how else you can know
which object is active - or...

I know that variables declared on a stack definitely does not reside in heap
space so there is only a very limited amount of stuff that you can store in
the stack of a function. But what about the global space? Is that the same
as the heap space or is that still a form of special stack? Because once
I've seen someone declare a 1 megabyte char array in global space like this:

I have to write a program that uses a stack to determine whether a

I need three text boxes. The first will be for input of the string.
The second will display the string when the "check" button is clicked
and the result of the analysis (string is a palindrome or is...

Hello everyone,
I decided to pick c++ back up after not really having used it much in
10 years.
Just as a point of refference, there was no standard C++ last time I
used regularly.
Anyways coming back, I've fallen in love with all the improvements in
the language such as the STL. Congrats to anyone who worked on it,
you did an excellent job.

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.
