set-stack-cushion

$Revision: 5.0.2.4 $

Function

Package: SYSTEM

Arguments: (spread)

This function and stack-cushion allow inspection (stack-cushion) and modification (this function) of the current process's soft stack limit. The cushion value is either:

number of longs between the current frame pointer and the soft stack limit, or
nil if there is no effective soft stack limit.

The value can be set when it is not nil. That is, when stack-cushion returns a non-nil value, set-stack-cushion can be used to change the value (usually to provide a bigger cushion).
