STACKFREE()
Determines the remaining stack space
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
STACKFREE() --> nFreeByte
Returns
STACKFREE() returns the number of bytes available on the stack.
Description
This function helps avoid system crashes. If the returned value falls
below 100, do not permit deeper branching. Either change the program so
that a large nesting depth cannot be reached, or increase the stack size
when linking.
Note
. The stack is a low-level system area. Each DO requires some
memory bytes, before a RETURN can ensue.
Examples
. Query the stack size:
? STACKFREE() // < 100 ??
. Link the application within increased stack size:
RTLINK FI Test /ST:8000
