Stack memory

[c.lang.myself@gmail.com]

I have doubts about validity of question below...but still due to my
curiosity i am asking.........
-----
We have 3 main portion in our memory analysis
*code segment
*heap
*stack

We can easily know memory available for heap by regular call for
malloc....which in my environment comes as 61KB

Now my question is can we also know maximum amount of stack memory
available in our environment.... .
or there is some sharing of memory b/w heap and stack...?

That small?

These questions are very system specific, how memory is partitioned and
size limits will be specified by your implementation' s documentation.

There is no portable way. If you ask in a newsgroup that discusses
your system, you may find a system specific method.
