How do I measure the usage of the stack allocated for a task (in a multitasking situation)? What commands should I use? Maybe you already discussed the matter , please point me to the appropriate msg. Is it also possible to measure the stack of the "primary task"? I mean the one belonging to the Sub Main() routine TIA Stefano

for each task stack the only way I know of is to look in the mpp file for the start address of the stack. have another task spit that data out to a comport. the highest level that has changed is as high as the stack is going. for the main stack there is a stack pointer. Byte SPL Stack Pointer Low Byte SPH Stack Pointer High have a sub keep track of the high and the low values of the pointer. that will tell you what is required for your main stack. --- wrote: > How do I measure the usage of the stack allocated for a task (in a > multitasking situation)? > What commands should I use? > Maybe you already discussed the matter , please point me to the > appropriate msg. > Is it also possible to measure the stack of the "primary task"?
