In the shell (ksh example) prior to executing your program you can use
ulimit -s <size in kbytes>. You may need elevated privileges to change it.You can also use
setrlimitprogrammatically but from the man page it won’t adjust the currently running process so it’s probably not helpful for your needs.Also consider what about your program needs the larger stack size. Is there a way you can change your design to be more stack friendly? The Solaris default seems to be 10M which is a fairly large stack.
