OpenCL stackoverflow. How to solve it? - visual-studio

Question

I'm having a problem when I try to run the reduction program from the OpenCL in Action's sources.
Im using Visual Studio 2008. This is the error:
Unhandled exception in 0x013526a7 in Reduction.exe: 0xC00000FD: Stack
overflow.
And in the asm file the cursor is to
test dword ptr [eax],eax ; probe page.
I tried to debug it, but when I put a breakpoint in the main function, the debugging starts, but the program does not keep running.
I don't know what is the really problem.
These are the source files:

I dont know what causes the stackoverflow...

Answer 1

I don't see any recursion so my guess is the float data[ARRAY_SIZE]; where #define ARRAY_SIZE 1048576 is putting 4MB on the stack which is pretty large. Try changing that to a dynamic allocation.
