Increase Stack Size Dev C++
Posted By admin On 11.01.21- Mar 22, 2013 The other reason, of course, to not change stack size is that the stack size necessary is then another 'hidden' piece of information, that's not in the code, that everyone who compiles it has to replicate. If you don't replicate it, the program will mysteriously crash and you'll have to debug.

Hi Team Kindly let me know how to increase stack size ( hard limit ) and let me know the maximum size of stack. Operating system: 11.31 U ia64 Current stack. '/STACK:n' means that stack size is limited by n bytes. If you compile with GNU C the only way to increase the maximum stack size is to use a special compilation flag. You can see it here.
The argument can range from 1 to the maximum stack size accepted by the linker. The linker rounds up the specified value to the nearest 4 bytes. The space between /F and number is optional. You may need to increase the stack size if your program gets stack-overflow messages. You can also set the stack size by: Using the /STACK linker option.
-->Sets the program stack size in bytes.
Syntax
/Fnumber
Arguments
number
The stack size in bytes.
Remarks
Without this option the stack size defaults to 1 MB. The number argument can be in decimal or C-language notation. The argument can range from 1 to the maximum stack size accepted by the linker. The linker rounds up the specified value to the nearest 4 bytes. The space between /F and number is optional.
You may need to increase the stack size if your program gets stack-overflow messages.

You can also set the stack size by:
Using the /STACK linker option. For more information, see /STACK.
Using EDITBIN on the .exe file. For more information, see EDITBIN Reference.
To set this compiler option in the Visual Studio development environment
Open the project's Property Pages dialog box. For details, see Set C++ compiler and build properties in Visual Studio.
Select the Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Command Line property page.
Type the compiler option in the Additional Options box.
To set this compiler option programmatically
- See AdditionalOptions.

The stack size is limited because you want to be able to run many programs at once: if all 1000 of the programs running on your computer had all asked for 1GB up front (stack is UP FRONT, its allocated at program launch) you would need quite the machine! By limiting it, many programs can run at once without one or two of them stealing all the resources.
Its not a 'bad idea' so much as 'you can't do it past some point'. C++, unlike the vast majority of languages, does not have a lot of places where it says 'you can't do that'. This is one of those few places, an the reason, mostly, is the limits are imposed from on high and the language can't do much about this.
That said, I routinely read 4-5 GB files into the heap. memory allocation isnt that big a deal anymore. And even 'back in the day' it really wasnt as bad as people make it out to be; I had a 'dumb pointer' template class that simply called delete when it went out of scope, and used it on everything for years back then. It didn't do anything else, just constructor and destructor. Which is pretty much what the modern pointers do, I think. (Actually, It did one other thing, it prevented the user from leaking by reallocating it, because you could only allocate it at construction and could not re-assign the pointer to another block etc).
