Re: Integer Array Size Problem

Thanks,
the heap allocation code (malloc)  ran without a problem..
so does a stack overflow mean ,that the stack can grow only to a
maximum size in the memory ??..who sets this ,and how does one change
this..
10,000,000 integers seems very little to overflow the stack.
