I have installed my new version of SAS/C version 5.10. The docs that
come with it contain the only reference I know of about runtime stack
allocation. I will list this reference without permission of SAS:
Minimum Stack 5.10 allows you to specify a minimum stack size by ini-
Size tializing the stack variable at compile time. If you do,
and your program is invoked with a smaller stack, the
startup code will allocate a new stack of the minimum
size.
I have tried the following to get it to work:
/* beginning of program file */
int stack = 1000000;
main ()
{
/* ... */
}
/* end of program file */
This didn't work. The SAS requester came up saying I didn't have enough
stack space. When I did a "stack 1000000" in my shell the program ran fine.
I then tried to make stack "static" but that didn't work either. I have
noticed a _stack listed in lib:lc.lib so it must be an external reference, but
I just can't get it to work. Any suggestions?
