RE: EXCEPTION_STACK_OVERFLOW caused by code executing in catch-block
Hi Paul,
I suspect, the stack that an application has when running inside a
catch-block should be smaller than usual, and it is this that I would
like to confirm.
The Windows system reserves 1 MB of address space and commits 2 pages of
storage for each thread by default, the stack size should not be changed
while the thread is running (include the case of running inside a
catch-block). By the way, the defaults stack size could be changed by
specifying the /STACK option to the linker while you build your application
inside VS IDE.
is there way to find out how big it is and how close I am to the limit?
There is no directly Windows API to check the stack usage. If you want to
check, you may need to use the Windbg to debug your application, it has a
command to view the process environment info including the stack's usage.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Gary Chang
