[Dev-C++] stack size SP1

[Ioannis V. <no...@ho...>]

Well, stack counting code had a bug, i was subtracting sizeof(unsigned
long) from kbytes instead of bytes. Anyway i fixed the bug and tweaked
it a bit, so here it is, SP1 :P . Well i want to be perfect that's why i
post the correct code. Sorry for the much code:
 
 
 
#include <iostream>
 
void stack()
{
  using namespace std;
 
  // Variable is created on the stack permanently and
  // keeps its value between stack() calls (a nightmare
  // for concurrency).
  static unsigned long counter=0;
 
  // sizeof(void *) to remove the size of the pointer the function call
  // occupies itself on the stack
  char buffer[1024-sizeof(void *)];
 
  counter++;
 
  cout<<"Allocated approximately "<<counter;
  cout<<"KB of stack before i die\n";
 
  stack();
}
 
 
 
int main()
{
  stack();
}
