Re: Stack overflow problem

Well, the first reaction is "your program has a bug, fix it". In the absence of useful
information, you've basically said "my program doesn't work, what did I do wrong?", which
is not a question that is easily answered.

The most common cause is a subclassed function that erroneously fails to call the
superclass, e.g.,

void CMyClass::SomeFunction(args here)
{
... stuff
SomeFunction(args here);
}

instead of

CSuperclassOfMyClass::SomeFunction(args here);

another cause is overuse of large on-stack data structures, like huge arrays.

Unfortunately, this is a C++/MFC forum; this isn't going to have a high hit rate for
expertise on Intel FORTRAN. I haven't written FORTRAN in...27 years, I think. I read a
FORTRAN program about five years ago. But the newer FORTRAN versions can keep things on
the stack, and FORTRAN is a language that encourages large arrays, so this is almost more
a question for Intel technical support, or some FORTRAN forum.

Hi All,

I'm going through a stack overflow problem in my project. I tried to
increase the stack size of my application but on my machine it works
fine (stack overflow does not occure) but fails on any other m/c that
does not have Microsoft Visual Studio installed.

I've tried increasing the stack size using /stack: with 1 GB option.
I've also tried EDITBIN utility with /STACK:reserve[,commit]
option.

I've installed required libraries and dll through Vcredist_x64.exe on
client m/c.
I'm using ---> Visual Studio 2005 , Intel Visual Fortran compiler 9.1
and compiling the code for 64bit.

Can anyone please guide me ..

Regards,
Devendra
