hi all , Is there any way or tool in which i can find the maximum stack size used by a process while executing. i also do malloc in the process, which will come from heap. In other words i need to find out, what wud be the maximum size of stack segment taken by my process. And if i use threads pthread_attr_getstacksize (attr, stacksize) cud help me but the default stack size is PTHREAD_STACK_MIN, *12 defined in pthread.h and without knowing how much of the stack wud be used, i can n't use pthread_attr_setstacksize (attr, stacksize). and this is what i finally want to do. I remember once i was working on Tornado tool (VxWorks) there we cud get graphical represenation of how much stack is used, I am not aware, if we have something like that or command line or some smart way to find that in Linux. I tried to get some information from gdb -f option (-stack-info-frame) but cud not get much of it. Stack level 0, frame at 0xbffff930: eip = 0x8048526 in main (threads1.c:9); saved eip 0x40057177 source language c. Arglist at 0xbffff928, args: Locals at 0xbffff928, Previous frame's sp is 0xbffff930 Saved registers: ebp at 0xbffff928, eip at 0xbffff92c Command execution time: 0.000000 Space used: 2760704 (+0 for this command) Stack level 0, frame at 0xbffff930: eip = 0x8048567 in main (threads1.c:16); saved eip 0x40057177 source language c. Arglist at 0xbffff928, args: Locals at 0xbffff928, Previous frame's sp is 0xbffff930 Saved registers: ebp at 0xbffff928, eip at 0xbffff92c Command execution time: 0.000000 Space used: 3289088 (+0 for this command) I hope i have explained clearly what i am looking for, plz correct me if i am wrong. And if i have made it ambiguous, feel free to question me. regards, Vishal. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
