Running out of memory on stack in C++ routine invoked within Cocoa NSOperation

Hi, I have a C++ method that I am invoking from within the - (void) main selector of an NSOperation. My Cocoa application is crashing because this particular C++ method puts a huge amount of data on the stack. I am getting an EXEC_BAD_ACCESS error. However, the same C++ routine works fine if I

Re: Running out of memory on stack in C++ routine invoked within Cocoa NSOperation

Actually, if the big array and the loop are moved from the C++ method into the Objective C selector - (void) main then the same EXEC_BAD_ACCESS occurs. So the problem is not related to C++. The following source code still exhibits the same problem: TestOperation.h //

Really it would be best to malloc the space, use it, and free it. Once you get to huge stack usage you gamble that you won't run out when there can be other higher up calls also consuming some (frameworks, libs, 3rd party code, ect). Also if you only use the large amount once in a while t
