[9fans] how do you determine stacksize?

[Fco.J.Ballesteros]

The subject says almost it all. How do you guys
choose your values for stack size in thread(2)
programs?

I'm doing it almost at ramdom, but there must be
a better way.

thanks

I try to keep stuff off the stack so 4k is always fine for me.
It is a pretty sad thing to have to guess though.

i'd have thought the linker would be in a good position
to make a good assessment of the stack requirements.

Maybe, but recursive programs will have unpredictable
calling depths.

If you don't use local arrays, 4K is almost always enough.
