/F (Set Stack Size)

/F[ ]number

where:

number

The stack size in bytes.

Remarks

This option sets the program stack size in bytes. Without this option the stack size defaults to 1 MB. The number argument can be in decimal or C-language notation. The argument can range from 1 to the maximum stack size accepted by the linker. The linker rounds up the specified value to the nearest 4 bytes. The space between /F and number is optional.

You may need to increase the stack size if your program gets stack-overflow messages.

Other ways to set the stack size

• Using the /STACK linker option.
• Using EDITBIN on the .exe file.
