While I agree with the given suggestion to allocate large objects on
the heap instead of the stack, there is a way to increase the stack
size on Windows. We use something like the following in our projects
where we need a larger stack on Windows:

   package Linker is
      case OS is
         when "UNIX" =>
            null;
         when "Windows_NT" =>
            for Default_Switches ("ada") use ("--stack=0x2000000,0x10000");
      end case;
   end Linker;

-- 

Yes,

I tried the linker switch -Wl,--stack=0x10000000 in GPL
but what is the second number "0x10000" for?
