chkstk.asm Error

Hi,

Error message: Unhandled exception at 0x01A61CD7 in Test.exe: 0xC00000FD: Stack Overflow(Parameters: 0x00000000, 0x03212000)

The call stack window displays like bellow:

In my project, I have lot of fixed size array and its maximum size is 6000.
But didn't receive this error before days.

Problem started, when i'm using recursion function(Using Property sheet & Property Page ) after that only i'm getting this error.

Is increase Stack Reserve Size / Stack Commit Size from Linker, solve this issue?

[OReubens]

Increasing the stack will shift the problem, it won't actually solve it unless you have a know absolute bound on stack usage.
But even if you do know or have a bound, there are reasons to avoid excessive stack usage.

Tips:
- Don't use recursion unless you have guarantees about the maximum recursion depth. Then you can at least calculate the needed stack size. But in general any recursive solution that needs more than a few hundred Kb of stack should be converted into another approach. Either another algorithmic solution, or by 'unfolding' the recursion into an iterative approach.

- Avoid large amounts of local data in a function (anything more than a few hundred bytes is "a lot"). Use allocated data to shift memory usage from stack to heap/free store. This is especially true for recursive functions.

As you haven't posted any code, does the recursion function have an exit condition that will be fulfilled that will stop the recursion?

The posted call stack shows no evidence of recursion...
What is a "lot of fixed size array"? How many?

OK. But I don't know can i come out from this error.

I accept. it's hard to answer without seeing any code. But i can't to post my project. But i was created a sample code. but the same error not occurred.

I don't known exactly is it a stack corruption or recursion error.
Arr[7] - 6 numbers
Arr[24] - 6 numbers
Arr[31] - 6 numbers
Arr[32] - 4 numbers
Arr[60] - 6 numbers
Arr[128] - 8 numbers
Arr[255] - 5 numbers
Arr[256] - 14 numbers
Arr[512] - 6 numbers
Arr[2048] - 3 numbers
Arr[6144] - 1 number

IS the problem solved , if i am using dynamic allocation of array and reallocation of array?

It's possible you have a memory corruption issue which could have been present previously but which is only obvious now due to changed code.

This is where the debugger becomes your friend to identify the issue.

I will check.

Pls find the attachment. I'm using the same concept.

That is, Main dialog contains a button, when i click that button i called property sheet with one page. that page contain "open button". when i click the open button the recursion starts that is, I opened the same "property sheet with one page" again. but i never take care to close the previous sheet and page. may be its generate the errors.

how can i close the "previous opened property sheet and page" using the "open button in page 1".

Yes, it may generate the errors because of too many window and other handles would be created.

To close a modal property sheet you should call EndDialog from within the sheet class.
To close the modeless sheet - call DestroyWindow or send the WM_CLOSE message to its window from anywhere.

	GetParent()->PostMessageA(WM_CLOSE);
		
	CMasterDlg Dlg(this);	
	CPage1 p1;		
	Dlg.AddPage(&p1, CPage1::IDD);
	if (Dlg.DoModal() == ID_WIZFINISH)
	{}
	else
	{}

After 25th click of open button, the page was hidden and the sheet only displayed.
When i clicked ALT+TAB control, the pages showed like attached image. kindly find the attachment.
