Manually stack management

[Shen Victor]

I am not sure if it is right since to run the DFS on the large graphs, I manually allocate 64MB memory for the stacks, Is that permissible?

What do you mean? I just used an object from the Java collections framework.

In the run configurations, I used "-Xss64m" to expand the stack

This was not what Robert was talking about.  In manually managing the stack, he was talking about implementing an iterative version of DFS that creates and manages a Stack object...

So, is expanding the stack allowed by run-config allowed?

[Shen Victor]

Sorry...a typo.... I mean ...is it allowed to expand the system stack by using "-Xss64m" command for the assignment?

By doing that, you are clearly not manually managing the stack; you are just increasing your computer's stack space and hoping everything works.
Look through the messages in the newsgroup, I would say it is not allowed.

But actually it works ....

By doing that, you are clearly not manually managing the stack; you are just requiring an unnecessary increase your computer's stack space.

But it was just posted before the due deadline and in the hw writeup nothing was mentioned about the stack management or asked us to manage the use of stack memory.

This question has been answered many times before in the group and we have been
telling students to use their own stack for more than 10 days.
