[Dev-C++] Memory allocation

[Alessandro B. <al...@vi...>]

Why when I try to run the following program

int main()
{
    int a[1000000];
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

I have a fatal error during execution (it seems to happen when the array =
is over 500000)
while the following program

int main()
{
    int *a;
    a=3D(int *)malloc(1000000);
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

works fine?
In the first there is static allocation and in the second I use dynamic =
allocation, but the result should be the same (or not?)
Thanks.
Alessandro
