Hi all:
I'm working with large arrays from the GMP library on MacOS 10.4.2,
with XCode 2.2, gcc 4.0.0, and I need to increase the stack size
beyond the default 8 megabytes. Apple suggests using a "-stack-size"
linker flag, but this flag doesn't appear in the GCC manual (and
doesn't work). I've tried the flag -fno-stack-limit, but this
doesn't seem to to work either.
One obvious work-around is to configure the GMP library to use
malloc, but I'd rather get a larger stack if possible (speed and ease
reasons).
Suggestions about increasing the stack size or other techniques for
accommodating large GMP mpz_t array? Thanks!
