ABSTRACT:
A stack allocation system and method is described. In one implementation, an attempt is made to allocate N bytes of data to a stack having a fixed depth. A probe size for the stack is determined. Verification is then made to ascertain whether the probe size and the N bytes of data exceed the fixed depth of the stack, prior to allocating the N bytes of data to the stack. In another implementation, the N bytes of data are allocated to a heap; if the probe size and the N bytes of data exceed the fixed depth of the stack.
