Large Data Arrays 1

[porto99]

In my application I needed to increase one of the fields within a structure from 256 to 4096 (char array), now this structure is part of an array, typical size is 1024 elements.

I get some funny results from enumerated data.

I was wondering if they are any compiler options to increase the stacks etc for this large amount of data.

I am using Visual Studio 2005 MFC C++ Dialog application.

Do I need to worry, or is it just a bug in my program?

Well the simple fix is to change
[tt]struct myarray[SIZE];[/tt]
to
[tt]static struct myarray[SIZE];[/tt]

This preserves all the scope which the array originally had, but the compiler no longer tries to store it on the stack.

There's a linker option.
