Does LinuxThreads implement pthread_attr_setstacksize() and pthread_attr_setstackaddr()?
These optional functions are provided in recent versions of LinuxThreads (0.8 and up). Earlier releases did not provide these optional components of the POSIX standard. Even if pthread_attr_setstacksize() and pthread_attr_setstackaddr() are now provided, we still recommend that you do not use them unless you really have strong reasons for doing so. The default stack allocation strategy for LinuxThreads is nearly optimal: stacks start small (4k) and automatically grow on demand to a fairly large limit (2M). Moreover, there is no portable way to estimate the stack requirements of a thread, so setting the stack size yourself makes your program less reliable and non-portable.
