- * PatchStack -- Increase Stacksize for running Tasks, for AmigaOS 3++
- *
- *****************************************************************************
-
- SYNOPSIS
- TaskName, (default '« IPrefs »')
- StackSize/N, (default 16384, minimum 1024)
- Quiet/S (no Output)
-
- DESCRIPTION
- PatchStack allows to increase the Stacksize of any running Task
- It's a replacement for "IPrefsPatch" and "RamLibPatch" both made by
- Andreas R. Kleinert (Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de), the idea was
- nice, but the implementation is bad ... ;)
-
- Here are some good reasons to use PatchStack:
-
- · Programm is shorter than XXXPatch (592 Bytes)
-
- · The Name of the TaskName is an Argument, which means you don't
- need multiple Programms.
-
- · The new StackSize is an Argument and not a fixed value. The default
- value is 16384, minimum size is 1024 Bytes. The Stacksize can only
- be increased.
-
- · Calls CacheClearU before/after setting the new Stack
-
- · Has a QUIET Option, which really prints out nothing. ;->
-
- · Sets the Returnvalue to: 0 = Ok
- 5 = Already patched
- 10 = TaskName not found
- 15 = New Stacksize is smaller
- 20 = OS-Version to low
-
- · PatchStack is pure and can be made resident.
