how to clear stack after stack overflow signal occur
- by user353573
In pthread, After reaching yellow zone in stack, signal handler stop the recursive function by making it return
however, we can only continue to use extra area in yellow zone,
how to clear the rubbish before the yellow zone in the thread stack ?
