Stack sizes and stack allocation

[Kees Jan Koster]

Dear All,

Not sure if this is the right channel, please feel free to redirect my question.

Assuming Java 8 on a 64-bit Linux machine with plenty RAM: When I reduce the stack sizes for a JVM, does that impact the stack allocation algorithms of the JVM?

Conversely, if stack allocation calls for too many objects to be allocated on the stack, does the JVM throw a stack overflow error, or fall back to heap allocation?

And, how do I investigate this? How would I configure the JVM to print out details of stack allocation vs fall-back to heap?

I hate unit tests; I much prefer the illusion that there are no errors in my code.
