Re: [boost] [thread] Set stack size?

I'm not aware of a way to set the stack size for a new thread in either Boost.Thread or the proposed std::thread. Is this something that should be considered?

It seems that on my 32-bit Linux box I get 8 MByte stacks by default.

I can't find a way to specify it in the pthread API. Since those are kernel threads, which are handled the same way as processes on linux, I suppose the same values as processes is used. The stack starts at 8 MB and can grow indefinitely as needed. (I don't think it is ever freed btw) If we used user threads, we could have full controls over those things.
