Stack overflow problem (increase allocated stack size?)
« on: January 04, 2011, 07:19:11 pm »
Hi,

I was wondering if you could help. I have defined a structure that uses quite a lot of memory (120kB), and I need to create at least another 3 of them. When I only create 1, the program works fine, when I add the second I get the errror:

Unhandled exception at 0x01037fd7 in Dungeon_Twister_1.exe: 0xC00000FD: Stack overflow.

Can anyone tell me how/where to increase the allocated stack size. I seem to remember it should be done in the makefile (more a compiler/VC++ option than SFML).

If anyone could tell me how to set/increase the stack size would be great (+ general rules for maximum allocatable stack size..)

Many thanks..

(p.s.:  sfml1.6, Win7-64bit, VC++2008, 6GB RAM)

You should allocate them on the heap if the stack isn't enough, not increase the stack.
