Windows:

/Gs[n]

Arguments

`n`	Is the number of bytes that local variables and compiler temporaries can occupy before stack checking is activated. This is called the threshold.

Default

/Gs	Stack checking occurs for routines that require more than 4KB (4096 bytes) of stack space. This is also the default if you do not specify `n`.

Description

This option lets you control the threshold at which the stack checking routine is called or not called. If a routine's local stack allocation exceeds the threshold (n), the compiler inserts a __chkstk() call into the prologue of the routine.

None
