 | 
						|
unnecessarily limits space available for code and data, while
 | 
						|
under-allocation results in runtime failures.  If given this option,
 | 
						|
<span class="command">ld</span> will provide an estimate of maximum stack usage. 
 | 
						|
<span class="command">ld</span> does this by examining symbols in code sections to
 | 
						|
determine the extents of functions, and looking at function prologues
 | 
						|
for stack adjusting instructions.  A call-graph is created by looking
 | 
						|
for relocations on branch instructions.  The graph is then searched
 | 
						|
for the maximum stack usage path.  Note that this analysis does not
 | 
						|
find calls made via function pointers, and does not handle recursion
 | 
						|
and other cycles in the call graph.  Stack usage may be
 | 
						|
under-estimated if your code makes such calls.  Also, stack usage for
 | 
						|
dynamic allocation, e.g. alloca, will not be detected.  If a link map
 | 
						|
is requested, detailed information about each function's stack usage
 | 
						|
and calls will be given.

 | 
						|
in <span class="command">ld</span> emitting stack sizing symbols for each function. 
 | 
						|
These take the form <code>__stack_<function_name></code> for global
 | 
						|
functions, and <code>__stack_<number>_<function_name></code> for static
 | 
						|
functions.  <code><number></code> is the section id in hex.  The value of
 | 
						|
such symbols is the stack requirement for the corresponding function. 
 | 
						|
The symbol size will be zero, type <code>STT_NOTYPE</code>, binding
 | 
						|
<code>STB_LOCAL</code>, and section <code>SHN_ABS</code>.
