| Q5 | How much stack space is allocated to a program? |
| By default, programs are allocated a 256KB stack, but programs
which use large arrays will need more. You can change the default stack size by setting
the variable _stklen in your program. For example to set the stack size to 1MB: unsigned _stklen = 1048576 ; Place this statement before main(). |
