Hi Franco!
It is possible to get the beginning and end of the stack using the
built-in functions __segment_start and __segment_end.
Note that the stack size is decided at link-time, as it decided by the
linker command file.
For, example, the following will fill the stack with garbage before
launching the application:
#pragma segment="CSTACK"
void the_application(void);
void main()
{
unsigned short *p = __segment_begin("CSTACK");
while (p != __segment_end("CSTACK"))
{
*(p++) = 0xAAAA;
}
the_application();
/* Note: Don't return from "main", the return address has been
* trashed. */
}
