/Ge (Enable Stack Probes)

Visual Studio .NET 2003
Copy 
/Ge

This option activates stack probes for every function call that requires storage for local variables. This mechanism is useful if you rewrite the functionality of the stack probe. It is recommended that you use /Gh instead of rewriting the stack probe.

/Gs0 has the same effect.

  1. Open the project's Property Pages dialog box. For details, see Setting Visual C++ Project Properties.
  2. Click the C/C++ folder.
