| Allegro CL version 8.2 Unrevised from 8.1 to 8.2. 8.1 version |
Arguments:
This function and set-stack-cushion allow inspection (this function) and modification (set-stack-cushion) of the current process's soft stack limit. The cushion value is either:
nil
if there is no effective
soft stack limit.
Typically, each process has a hard limit and a soft limit. Exceeding the hard limit causes Lisp to fail. Each operating system has a different way of setting the hard limit. Exceeding the soft limit signals an error (a signal 1000). Usually things are set up so the soft limit is hit before the hard limit. Exceeding the soft limit is a continuable error.
