Do any of the .NET languages offer a way to assure recovery after a stack overflow?

I recently discovered
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...setstkoflw.asp,
which states:

"The _resetstkoflw function recovers from a stack overflow condition,
enabling a program to continue instead of failing with a fatal exception
error. If you don't call _resetstkoflw, there is no guard page after the
previous exception and the next time there is a stack overflow there will be
no exception at all; the process will simply terminate without warning.

This function should only be called from a __try block."

In VB 6, I can reproduce the circumstances described above, but VB 6 does
not seem to offer a way to guarantee recovery after a stack overflow.

Do the .NET languages offer such a mechanism?

Hello all, To begin, yes, this -is- a homework assignment.

I have spent the past few weeks designing a database for my company. The problem is I have started running into what I believe are stack overflow problems. There are two tab controls on the form (nested), three list views, one tree control with up to 30,000 nodes, maybe 15 comboboxes (half of which have a large recordset as rowsource), 20 or so buttons and around 30 text boxes (not to mention the images, labels, etc and around 1000 lines...

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...

Hi, I got stack overflow errors while using an unmanaged dll from managed c# application. When i use editbin.exe to increase stack size of app , it works. Is there a way to increase stack size of app (or most probably Clr) so that app starts with a larger stack, like using the old /F switch in Visual Studio C++ 6.0.
