Declare large array on Stack

Question

I am using Dev C++ to write a simulation program. For it, I need to declare a single dimensional array with the data type double. It contains 4200000

Answer 1

You can increase your stack size. Try adding these options to your link flags:

-Wl,--stack,36000000

It might be too large though (I'm not sure if Windows places an upper limit on stack size.) In reality though, you shouldn't do that even if it works. Use dynamic memory allocation, as pointed out in the other answers.

(Weird, writing an answer and hoping it won't get accepted... :-P)
