It should not have any impact on wether you get "stack overflow"
exceptions or not how many files you are finding.
However, the depth of your directory search might have that effect, but
the only way I can think of that you can get such problems with this is
if you've managed to create directory links (symlinks) to parent
directories... In other words, that C:\Temp contains a directory Test
which contains a symlink back to \Temp, which contains Test, which
contains a symlink back to \Temp, which ... well, you get the picture.
If you have experienced a stack problem with the given code, please post
the circumstances.

Hi Lasse,
Thanks for your response. Depth of directoris does matter but I don't
think it is possible to create symlinks in NTFS. I think the reason is
that parameters of MS's recursive search is only one, sDir.
Sub DirSearch(ByVal sDir As String)
while that of my rescursive search is too many:
Public Function LoadFiles( _
ByVal sFileSpec As String, _
minSz As Long, _
maxSz As Long, _
ProtectDir As Object, _
AnyExclusion As Boolean, _
Optional ByVal bRecursive As Boolean = False, _
Optional ByVal ModDate As String = "", _
Optional ByVal bHidden As Boolean = False, _
Optional ByVal bSrchTarget As Boolean = True, _
Optional ByRef pb = Nothing) _
As Long
What do you think?

Hello,
I've got a situation in which the number of (valid) recursive calls I
make will cause stack overflow. I can use getrlimit (and setrlimit)
to test (and set) my current stack size. However, it is not as
straightforward to determine the base address for my stack space. The
approach I have taken is to save the address of an automatic variable
in main( ), and assume this is a fairly good indicator of my base
address. Then, I can...

Hello,
I call a function recursively to find an item that exists *anywhere* down
the chain. Let's say I find it five layers deep. Now I've got what I need and
want to break out of that whole stack and continue execution at the point of
the initial call. Is that possible?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a program which literately finds the object that overlapping a
point. The horizontal and vertical search are called recursively from
inside each other.
Is this way of implementation fill the stack space with the local
variables inside each call. If this is not good, is there a better way
to implement? Or python itself will understand that the calls happen
in the last line, so local variables need not be pushed into the
stack?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
