Modern OS's seem to give us at least a couple of megabytes (my Linux boxen all have 8M, and even Solaris 8 seems to have that much). But PTHREAD_STACK_MIN is only 16K (I don't think it is possible to hit this code path in a thread right now, but I'm not sure). And I have no idea what the situation is on Windows. I dunno if it is worth worrying about, but maybe somebody more clueful than me can comment. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
