Gdb/ddd does not seem to show stack size in backtrace. Do you really have to compute the size of each frame manually looking at the function name, then its parameters and local variables???? Is there any way to find out the maximum stack size for all the test cases executed? One way would be do break at each function and examine the stack - but this not practical for large number of test cases and functions. Is there any way to automate such a operation in gdb/ddd?
