Re: Setting the size of the stack of a DLL ... Is it possible ?
Hi ptek!
The main question is: Why do you want to change the (initial) stack size?
Well, i'm using a source written by some other guy and it uses a
recursive function ... If used on a exe, no problem. But when I put it
on a DLL, a stack overflow error occurs sometimes.
Normaly there should be no difference...
The strangest part
is that on a release version, it goes ok. The errors only happens when
used in debug versions.
This is not strange... the compiler (VS2003/2005) adds some extra stuff
(RTC) for each function call in adebug build. So the callstack for debug
builds will use more space than in release builds.
Also, my dll is called by a Java program, and
there it crashes (even the release version). It seems that is possible
to increase the Java stack... I'm trying it now.
It always depends on how much stack-space is already used, when your
function is called.
A "workaround" would be to create an own thread, if the function is
called (or one worker thread for the call).
Then you can resever the amount of stack-space you want and you are
independed of the callee.
