QThread stack-address

[fridbert]

Greetings,

I use Qt4 on Windows and I´m searching a way of getting the stack-address of a Qthread or
set the stack myself.

With pthreads it´s possible to get/set the stack-pointer by pthread_attr_getstack() and
pthread_attr_setstack().
Since QThreads are built upon pthreads there should be a solution but I only found
QThread::setStackSize and i don´t like the idea of running a pthread in my QtApp only
because of getting the address.

Would be really thankful for getting some help

what kind of dirty tricks are you doing where you need the stack pointer?

[fridbert]

All I want is to prevent the garbagecollection of my embedded interpreter running amok.

mmm, there isn't much GC happening in c++

sorry if i didn´t express myself very good. i embedded a scriptinterpreter which is running in a qthread. and his garbagecollection needs to know the stack of the thread. otherwise it runs amok => http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/2294
