Issue C63103     [previous patch] Increase STACKSIZE header value to 65536 Submitted by: Jesse McGrew     Appeared in: Compiler 6.31 or before     Fixed in: - Problem This patch increases the STACKSIZE header value from 4096 to 65,536. Inform 7 needs a big stack (but see also patch C63108). Solution Apply the following patch. *** files.c~ Fri Jul 14 00:04:37 2006 --- files.c Fri Jul 14 00:04:37 2006 *************** *** 521,532 **** sf_put((Out_Size >> 16)); sf_put((Out_Size >> 8)); sf_put((Out_Size)); ! /* STACKSIZE, which we guess at 4096. That's about enough for 90 ! nested function calls with 8 locals each -- the same capacity ! as the Z-Spec's suggestion for Z-machine stack size. */ sf_put(0x00); sf_put(0x00); - sf_put(0x10); sf_put(0x00); /* Initial function to call. Inform sets things up so that this is the start of the executable-code area. */ --- 521,530 ---- sf_put((Out_Size >> 16)); sf_put((Out_Size >> 8)); sf_put((Out_Size)); ! /* STACKSIZE, which we guess at 65,536 for Inform 7. */ sf_put(0x00); + sf_put(0x01); sf_put(0x00); sf_put(0x00); /* Initial function to call. Inform sets things up so that this is the start of the executable-code area. */
