In CrossStudio for ARM we have many stacks fields to configure:
"
Stack Size (fiq mode)
Stack Size (irq mode)
....
Stack Size (user/system mode)
"
What is function of anyone of them (where are differences)?
I'm trying to use less memory in CPU so i want reduce stack size - how to
do it safty?
How to check how many amount of memory stack realy needs?
How to optymize stack size?
best regards
Jakub

ARM CPUs (except CM3) have different modes, each of them has its own stack
(check ARM reference manual)

Abort stacks can often combined.

Fill it with a virgin pattern and check it after some time ...

These are not CrossWorks specific but specific to the ARM7. There is a
stack per mode that the CPU can be in. The modes are described in the
ARM ARM (ARM Architecture Reference Manual) which can be obtained from
ARM themselves.
It is likely that you will be using Supervisor, System and IRQ. If you
are not using the others then you don't need to set up a stack for them,
although it might be beneficial to do so while you are debugging.

If you define INITIALIZE_STACKS in project property pages, the CrossWorks will fill them with 0xCC during startup, see crt0.s.
