Hi, Simon & all,  I try to embed R in my win32 multiple threads program and get c stack error.I have tried to disable the stack limit by setting R_CStackLimit to -1.However, if I do this in R source code \src\gnuwin32\system.c (in functionR_SetWin32(Rstart Rp), after line R_CStackLimit = top - bottom;) and rebuildR.dll, it works well. If I do this in my win32 program, it crashes at lineR_CStackLimit = (uintptr_t)-1. The error message says that "Access violationwritting location 0x00411078". From debug window, I can see the location0x00411078 is just the address of variable R_CStackLimit.   From your response to the issue above, you said that "There is no need tochange the R source code." Could you please explain more on how to setR_CStackLimit to -1 without change the R source code? I have read somearticles about this and found that all of them are talking about Linuxplatform. I followed these suggestions and tried them in a simple test case(\src\gnuwin32\front-ends\rtest.c) to simplify my issue, below is what Itried:1. Build a vc7 program with rtest.c -- it works well. (I don't expect that I can reproduce c stack error with the simple test case, what I want is todisable stack checking in the test case.) 2. Try to disable stack checking by adding below code into rtest.c: after line #include <psignal.h>, add: #define CSTACK_DEFNS #include <Rinterface.h>  in main, add: R_CStackLimit = (uintptr_t)-1. I tried a few different locations to add the command -- the beginning of the main, before and after R_SetParams(Rp), before and after setup_Rmainloop(). It always crashes at every location above when step to R_CStackLimit =(uintptr_t)-1.  I guess that R_CStackLimit is not defined at this point, so I copy belowdefinition from \src\include\Defn.h to rtest.c: extern uintptr_t R_CStackLimit INI_as((uintptr_t)-1), and define INI_as correctly.There is no crashes but by debuging into \src\main\errors.c -- function void R_CheckStack(void), I see the R_CStackLimit is not changed (-1 is expected) -- still 1MB(default value of vc
7 program). And, applying above to my multiple threadprogram, I still get c stack error.  Am I doing something wrong? Thanks very much for spending time on this.
