How to increase the gcc executable stack size?
I have large Boost/Spirit metaprogram that is blowing gcc's stack when I try to compile it. How can I increase gcc's stack size, so I can compile this program? Note: There's no infinite recursion going on, but there is enough incidental recursion to exhaust gcc's stack. LiraNuna On Linux, you can expand the stack size in /etc/security/limits.conf. You can check your current stack size by using $ ulimit -s 8192 Then expand the stack to be double than that: youruser soft stack 16384 And then relog. This will increase stack size for all executable you're running, not just GCC's. I use that in my
