           Summary: Passing large structs to function b value causes stack
                    corruption
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody@puremagic.com

If the arguments passed to a function exceed 64kB the stack gets corrupted. Compiling and running this code without optimizations leads to a crash:

struct S
{
    int[16385] a;
}

void foo(S s)
{
}

void main()
{
    S s;
    for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
        foo(s);
}

This is caused by the frame pointer cleanup only popping the lower 16 bit of the used stack size:

_D4test3fooFS4test1SZv  comdat
        assume  CS:_D4test3fooFS4test1SZv
                ret     4
_D4test3fooFS4test1SZv  ends

[Actually I never meant to do this, it happened because I thought I was passing a class reference.]

Couple of comments: 1) This program doesn't crash in x64 linux 2) what exactly is requested: you allocate data on stack which certainly big enough to corrupt it, so?

Sorry, I didn't specify the platform: Windows 32-bit. I don't know if it
happens elsewhere.
What happens in the example is that each call pushes 16385 words onto the
stack, but only 1 gets popped.
For x64, the code might be different and the stack might be larger.
