APPLIES TO
- Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation 1.0 Standard Edition
- Microsoft Fortran PowerStation 1.0a for MS-DOS
- Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation 32
This article was previously published under Q112058
SYMPTOMS
Attempting to set a stack size greater than 32K in the Visual Workbench (VWB) may produce a Tools Options dialog box with the message:
In other instances, no warning message will be produced, but the stack size will modulus itself with 64K resulting in a stack size between 0 and 32768 bytes.
With FORTRAN PowerStation 32, the following application error is generated:
CAUSE
The 32K stack size limitation was carried over from the 16-bit Microsoft Visual C++ product. FORTRAN PowerStation allows stack sizes much larger than 32K.
RESOLUTION
Manually edit the .FMK file produced by VWB to add the -stack: option to the appropriate L32FLAGS options string. When opening the project from VWB, be sure to select the Use As An External Makefile check box.
Another option is to link from the command line.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
To demonstrate the problem, follow these two steps:
- From VWB choose Project from the Options menu and select Linker.
- Type 100000 in the Stack Size Maximum field.
