pthread stack limit.

pthread stack limit.

[Vadiraj]

 Hi Folks,

  Does any one has idea on how this thread stack limit is decided
upon. I see different max stack limit for different pthread
implementation. Is there a standard that is followed in deciding on
thread stack size and number of threads?

 Thanks in advance.

I guess pthread_attr_getstacksize() and pthread_attr_setstacksize()
can be used for getting/setting the size...

 Thats true. What I want to know is how is the max limit decided upon.
Does page size come into picture for this.. pthread_attr_setstacksize
throws error for certain size in differnect systems. For linux its 2
mb where as some other system do support more than 8mb. How is this
handled?
