But the other arguments still hold true. If we could just replace the current stack by a fixed 256 byte stack, that would be ok, but we'll need to have both, so this is a lot of work. And if I have to choose, I choose the generic case. > But today I could also ran into a stack overflow without a warning? If you enable stack checks, yes. But since the stack is larger, the chance that this happens is much smaller. Actually the whole space between top of memory and the program is used for the stack, so even if you do recursion and use 5 or 10K of stack, you won't notice problems in most cases.
