Increase Stack Size on Windows (GCC)


IIRC, In GCC you can provide the --stack,[bytes] parameter to ld.

E.g.

gcc -Wl,--stack,16777216 -o file.exe file.c

To have a stack of 16MiB, I think that the default size is 8MiB.


There are two stack sizes in Windows. The initially commited size, and the total reserved size. You can set both with a STACKSIZE statement in a .def file.
