AFAIK when you use static tables they are allocated on the stack. You might want to try allocating them on the heap...
To do so, simply use malloc(). char *a; a = malloc(8192); if (a == NULL) return(1); /* do your stuff */ free(a); return(0); cheers, Mateusz On 12/20/2012 07:24 PM, Santiago Almenara wrote: > Hello list: > > I am having Stack Overflow problems with this simple code under FreeDOS > and OpenWatcom: > > #include <stdio.h> > > char a[8192]; > > int main() > { > int i; > char b[8192]; > for(i=0; i<8192; i++) a[i]=b[i]=0; > return 0; > } > > I keep getting stack overflow problems. > > I know this code is very simple and meaningless, but it's an example of > how I am having stack overflow problems with static arrays of size 8192. > > Excuse me if the mail is too off-topic, but I think the problem is > something to do with memory. > > Thanks, > > Santiago > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
