Hi Bart,
1st, I hope you live in a different timezone.

if not exist unistd.c~ ren unistd.c *.c~
needs 4600 bytes (see below)
so far all retested
TESTS KE2041
TESTS JED
TESTS PICOC
work, but require at least 4600 byte stack

maybe finally found the reason nobody wants to use this code
fixing bugs is not sexy. leaving bugs as an exercise to the reader.

so far found code that uses 4600 byte
I will take 8k as it doesn't matter much as everything is swapped out anyway.

I added the following to shell\command.c
int process_input(int xflag, char *commandline)
{
...
if(tracethisline)
--tracemode;
}
+ {
+ extern int stack_check(const char *commandline);
+
+ stack_check(parsedline);
+ }
}
while (!canexit || !exitflag);
and later
static void * stack_bottom, * stack_unused;
void stack_check_init()
{
char current_stack_location;
void **barrier;
//
place a barrier at the
//
bottom of the stack
// code
assumes 8 K right now
stack_bottom = ¤t_stack_location - 8*1024 + 50;
stack_unused = (char*)(¤t_stack_location);
for (barrier = stack_bottom; barrier < stack_unused ; barrier++)
{
*barrier = barrier;
}
}
int stack_check(const char *commandline)
{
void **barrier;
for (barrier = stack_bottom; barrier < stack_unused; barrier++)
{
if (*barrier != barrier)
{
break;
}
}
if (barrier < stack_unused)
{
unsigned stack_left = (char*)barrier - (char*)stack_bottom;
if (stack_left < 5000)
{
printf("stack left %u after
<%.60s>\n",stack_left,commandline);
cgetchar();
}
stack_unused = barrier;
}
return 0;
}
int main(void)
{
/*
* * main function
*/
stack_check_init();
....
