Min and Max Stack Sizes in Delphi

Question

I came accross an option in the Delphi 6 IDE:

How does changing the memory stack sizes here affect the IDE? If I increase this value would there be more memory available for the IDE?

Answer 1

No, stack size does not influence on IDE work.

This is linker option, it defines how much stack size will be available for your compiled program. At most max stack size .

Stack is used to hold local variables and sometimes function arguments. You seldom need to increase stack sizes if application design is quite good. Stack overflow (if happens) might be a result of unlimited recursion due to logical mistakes or result of defining too large local variables (for example - static arrays)
