Solved What happens when Stack Size full?

Jaehak Lee · Apr 3, 2017

Hi, everyone.

I have a question about stack size.

I have a system that has 512m of stack size.

Code:

user@myhost:/ % ulimit -a | grep stack
stack size              (kbytes, -s)  524288

What happens when this stack size is full?
And how can I catch this status for a process?

Thanks.

A stack overflow i.e. your process will crash with SIGSEGV (see setrlimit(2)).
