When do you worry about stack size?

Question

When you are programming in a language that allows you to use automatic allocation for very large objects, when and how do you worry about stack size? Are there any rules o

Answer 1

I never worry about it. If there is a stack overflow, I will soon know about it. Also, in C++ it is actually very hard to create very large objects on the stack. About the only way of doing it is:

struct S {
   char big[1000000];
};

but use of std::string or std::vector makes that problem go away.
