Oh no! What could this error mean?

I got a test file and a header file. I made the header file.

My friend made the test file. theoretically, my header file SHOULD work for it!(his file has no errors, and his header file(which used the same function names) worked perfectly)

It compiles just fine. but when I run I get this error.

0 [main] A 1000 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW
1082 [main] A 1000 stackdump: Dumping stack trace to A.EXE.stackdump

What does this mean? What kind of error is that and what can one do to fix it?

OS , Complier ?????

My guess is that a "Bad Thing(TM)" just happened.

Perhaps if you gave us a bit of sample code, we may be able to narrow it down.

What is basicly happening, is that you're running out of stack space. Try this (actually, on a Win9x box, this may take a while...):

Code:

---

#include <stdlib.h>
int nuke(  )
{
  int *x =  malloc( sizeof(int) * 1024 );
  return nuke( );
}
int main ( void )
{
  return nuke( );
}

MSVC++ Debugger gives me:
"Unhandled exception. Stack overflow." Plus a bit of hex, kernel32.dll, etc...

Quzah.
