StackAttack 2.7 released

[RobinC]

This is a drop in replacement for StackAttack 1.3 - but done in asm to be smaller/faster/neater. Main differences from the original include reusing the patch code to change the amount of stack, ability to see what the current stack is set to, and smaller (or did I mention that?)

Grab it from here: StackAttack2
Installation is manual, but read the readme file for some tricks...

Hi,

I never understood stack problems. Can't it be enlarged automatically like an exec list ?

Hi,

i've just found a strange bug with the new StackAttackII.

When you double-click on an URL in YAM, the Arexx script "GoToURL.yam" should start your preferred browser and go to the choosen URL (ie IB).

Now with StackAttackII, the Arexx script, doesn't find the Ibrowse port. (with an error message).

Just reinstalled the old version and all go OK.

Any idea?

Ciao

@Elwood - without memory protection and virtual memory, there's no way to automatically enlarge the stack. Even the hackiest ideas I can think of probably wouldn't work right ;-)

@Framiga - not off the top of my head, what values are you passing it? And just a quick query, but why not use OpenURL instead of a script?

If anyone happens to have a copy of Snoopy installed - could they tell me what function(s) are being called to create the new task? I *think* I know which one it would be, but I really need to check...

Hi Robin

i've found the problem and fixed.

So, i had the OLD StackAttack installed with this line:

StackAttack MIN=8192 ADD=500

With the last StackAttackII version, those line give me problems.

Now with:

Stack Attack (without any option) the problem is fixed (default StackAttack MINSTACK=8192 ADDSTACK=0)

Thanks for the reply :-)

Ciao
