Stack size causes catch platform to throw exception

[kerdemdemir]

I have a class like:

struct Reader
{

static constexpr size_t MAX_FILE_SIZE = 10000;
using ReaderIter = std::array< double , MAX_FILE_SIZE >::iterator;
using ReaderView = ranges::counted_view< ReaderIter, int >;

std::array<double, MAX_FILE_SIZE> rawData;
size_t fileSize;

ReaderView getView()
{
    return ranges::counted_view< ReaderIter, int >( rawData.begin(), fileSize);
}


ReaderView
openWavFile(std::string fileName)
{
    .... Long logic removed to ease understanding
    return getView();
}

};

If I write a test like:

TEST_CASE( "SoundFileRead ", "[Reader]" ) {

Reader reader1;

auto readView = reader1.openWavFile("D:/speakerWavs/test/f1rsenae.wav");
auto readerChunks = readView | ranges::view::chunk(256);
auto frontChunkFirst = readerChunks.front();


auto readView2 = reader1.openWavFile("D:/speakerWavs/test/f1rsenae.wav");
auto readerChunks2 = readView | ranges::view::chunk(256);
auto frontChunkFirst2 = readerChunks.front();

SECTION( "Checking size" ) {
    REQUIRE( readView2.size() == readView.size() );
}

}

That works ,

But if I change

static constexpr size_t MAX_FILE_SIZE = 10000; to 1000000

I am getting a segmentation fault.
And stack is like :

1   ____C_A_T_C_H____T_E_S_T____64  main.cpp    64  0x4095b1

You've under-/overflown the stack, increase the stack size in your linker arguments.

[kerdemdemir]

But I have a question than; why I am not having this expection while I don't use "catch".

[nabijaczleweli]

Because it stack-allocates some stuff as well?

[kerdemdemir]

I set my max stack size like LIB += -Wl,--stack,4194304 but no matter what I do I am still getting the exception. This is most probably me who is not making the correct configuration. But I want to tell you anyways. I am on windows-mingw and configuring mingw with qmake.

I didn't see this the first time around but I'm pretty sure this is just a case of "the straw that broke the camel's back".
I'm going to close it but if you're still watching, @kerdemdemir. and still think there is an issue please reopen and let us know your thoughts.
