\chapter{Stack configuration}
\label{ch:AppH}
This gives some important information on stack settings under
the different operating systems. It might be important when
porting applications to other operating systems.
\section{DOS}
Under the DOS targets, the default stack is set to 256 kB.
This can be modified with the GO32V2 target using a special
DJGPP utility \file{stubedit}. It is to note that the stack
size may be changed with some compiler switches, this stack
size, if \emph{greater} then the default stack size will be
used instead, otherwise the default stack size is used.
\section{Linux}
Under \linux, stack size is only limited by the available memory of
the system.
\section{Netbsd}
Under \netbsd, stack size is only limited by the available memory of
the system.
\section{Freebsd}
Under \freebsd, stack size is only limited by the available memory of
the system.
\section{BeOS}
Under \beos, stack size is fixed at 256Kb. It currently
cannot be changed, it is recommended to turn on stack
checking when compiling for this target platform.
\section{Windows}
Under \windows, stack size is only limited by the available memory of
the system.
\section{OS/2}
Under \ostwo, stack size is specified at a default
value of 8 Mbytes. This currently cannot be changed
directly.
\section{Amiga}
Under AmigaOS, stack size is determined by the user, which sets this
value using the stack program. Typical sizes range from 4 kB to 40 kB.
The stack size currently cannot be changed, it is recommended to turn
on stack checking when compiling for this target platform.
\section{Atari}
Under Atari TOS, stack size is currently limited to 8 kB.
The stack size currently cannot be changed, it is recommended to turn
on stack checking when compiling for this target platform.
