I'm looking for a way to increase the stack size, for my program to run, the reason is that I've a recursive call causing a stack overflow. Is there anyway I can change the default stack size?

Its compiler dependent. In Visual studio stacksize is fixed to 1 MB. You can increase it using /STACK linker option.

If its a *NIX, use 

ulimit -s <number_in_kb>

You'd set that in your environment before running your program. You can also set it programatically as described in this answer.

You can view the current value by running ulimit -a.

Use editbin to change the stack size of the program:

EDITBIN.EXE /STACK: yourprogram.exe
