Hi,

I'd like to ask a dummy question. For window NT, what is the
beginning and ending of the user mode address and kernel mode address?
And what's the stack size? Thanks.

See here:

[Virtual Address Space]
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366912(VS.85).aspx

They differ in size/width depending on the processor
architecutre, read further and do a google search for more
information,...

Also take care of things like ASLR
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_space_layout_randomization

Hope this helps,...

Regards

Kerem

Kerem gave you a pointer to the first question. For the second, the
initial stack size for a process comes from the header of the executable
file. You can set your desired size as a linker parameter. The default is
1 MB.

As OP also asks the question about the kernel, I guess it is worth to tell
that the kernel stack size is small and it is equal:

1. On x86 machines to 12 kb
2. On x64 machines to 24 kb
3. On Itaium machines to 32 kb

One thing which is easy to miss: there are two stacksizes - Committed
and Reserved. Stack can auto-grow the committed size as needed, but you
can never go over the reserved size.

Another important thing is threads are per-thread, therefore you need to
think about both those properties for each thread. More at
