Eric Botcazou <ebotcazou at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED CC| |ebotcazou at gcc dot gnu.org Resolution|--- |WORKSFORME --- Comment #6 from Eric Botcazou <ebotcazou at gcc dot gnu.org> --- That's as expected: the probing mechanism maintains a protection area so the program can recover from a stack overflow condition by raising an exception. That's why it always probes a few pages ahead but, once the first few pages are skipped at the entry point, every subsequent page is probed.
