Hello eveyone,
I was wondering if there was anything that detected C stack overflow in a
nice way (i.e., not by having to cut down my program until I stop getting
a segmentation fault on the first line of main).
In details:
I have a program that looks somewhat like that:
typedef struct{
/*a huge struct definition*/
} a_t;
int main(int argc, char *argv){
a_t a;
return 0;
}
and I want to get something politer than a segmentation fault.
I found some info on preventing attacks on the stack, so it seems to me
that it should be possible to do this in a non- hostile manner.
BTW, it is not a problem of lack of memory- the same struct can be
allocated on the heap.
Thanks,
Orna.
