in testing my code that [ab]uses the stack I needed to increase the stack size, seems to me it would be simpler to have a stack size option rather than to have the option in a file, just curious if people use the linker options

I use the Linker option to increase the stack size as well.
To use a file for this is fine for me.

An examples would be good.

hello idle, not sure what you meant, but here's my file to set the stack size
linker_options.txt
/STACK:2097152

From the interwebs:
msvc--> /STACK:256000000
gcc --> -Wl,--stack=256000000

Thanks it's good to provide examples for other people. I'm not sure you need a file though

on on linux you can use n windows with pb 6 at least you can use

thanks for the tip idle

I'm not sure how long that has worked on windows, so I learned something new!

Very interesting!
I wound up making global def's for very big structures cause of stack limit.
I didn't think to change the stack size.

The change of stack size is for EXE only or works also on DLL compilation?

I tried it, but it doesn't work. The stack size is not saved in the DLL, its defined by the parent application which uses the DLL.

Thanks!
I was read that on the Microsoft info and supposse was the same on PB.
