Re: [boost] [context] Windows ctx::maximum_stacksize() runtime asserts

Hey all,

The Windows implementation of boost::ctx::maximum_stacksize() does always assert:

std::size_t maximum_stacksize() { BOOST_ASSERT( ! is_stack_unbound() ); static std::size_t stacksize = 8 * 1024 * 1024; return stacksize; }

the assert statement is a pre-condition of maximum_stacksize(). is_stack_unbound() returns true if the stack is not limited. calling maximum_stacksize() is only allowed if is_stack_unbound() returns false. this is a issue required by posix getrlimit() - the max stacksize to a certain value or unlimited (== RLIM_INFINITY).
