Subject: [9fans] mainstacksize
Date: Thu,  8 Aug 2002 17:05:57 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a8e3d99cbc606cf0003761e4a7f0e50f@granite.cias.osakafu-u.ac.jp> (raw)

Theradmain prepares 8 Kbytes stack area fot it, according to the manual.
I have a program using threadmain, and from which a function having a 200x200
float array.   I put this array to static memory, however, it requires more than
8 Kbytes threadmain's stack area.   (When I use the array as local, it goes to more
miserabble result.)
Therefore, I enlarged the default value of the stack size of the threadmain to 30Kbytes,
and now the function works more stablly. (I'm still debugging!)   Why a farely large
array put in a static/global field can be affected from the stack of the threadmain?
What's the meaning of mainstacksize of thread library?
