i'm using gcc version 4.8.2, i'm on linux, having trouble with making a stack of size 8MB(8388608 bytes), due to the default stack size limit, tried "--main-stacksize=8388608" , but it didn't work.

any suggestions ?

my makefile...

Code

CPPFLAGS=    -g -w
all: run clean

run:  main.o lcf.o filz.o
    g++ $(CPPFLAGS) main.o lcf.o filz.o -o run

main.o: main.cpp
    g++ -c main.cpp

lcf.o: lcf.cpp
    g++ -c lcf.cpp

filz.o: filz.cpp
    g++ -c filz.cpp

clean:
    rm *.o

---

one more thing....

I ran this /usr/bin/ld --help | grep stack
-z execstack Mark executable as requiring executable stack
-z noexecstack Mark executable as not requiring executable stack
-z stacksize=SIZE Set size of stack segment
-z execstack Mark executable as requiring executable stack
-z noexecstack Mark executable as not requiring executable stack
-z stacksize=SIZE Set size of stack segment
-z execstack Mark executable as requiring executable stack
-z noexecstack Mark executable as not requiring executable stack
-z stacksize=SIZE Set size of stack segment
-z execstack Mark executable as requiring executable stack
-z noexecstack Mark executable as not requiring executable stack
-z stacksize=SIZE Set size of stack segment
-z execstack Mark executable as requiring executable stack
-z noexecstack Mark executable as not requiring executable stack
-z stacksize=SIZE Set size of stack segment
--stack <size> Set size of the initial stack
--stack <size> Set size of the initial stack


so I tried to add -z stacksize=8388608 in the CPPFLAGS , but still no good, cuz the linker chooses to ignore it after giving me a warning.

What distro are you running? Is it a virtual machine?

yes it is, a virtual machine running lubuntu 14.01

it didn't work, ld gives this error:

/usr/bin/ld: unrecognised -a option `ck_size'

The problem is kinda solved using this line..

> ulimit -s 32768 sets the stack size to 32M bytes
