Since you didn't specify, I'll assume you're using the C51 tools. 1) Is there any method of determining whether the stack space allocated is enough for the program execution. http://www.keil.com/support/docs/192.htm 2) Is there any feature in UVision 2 to determing the code size generated by the hex file. No. There is no feature in uVision2 to determine the number of bytes represented by a HEX file. Note that there are ways to find the size of your program using the MAP file. If you want to use the HEX file, I suggest you convert the HEX file into a flat BINARY file and check its size. That will be the number of bytes of CODE space that are required. You may download a HEX to BINARY utility from: http://www.keil.com/download/docs/hex2bin.zip.asp Jon

Does it mean that the C51 doesnot take care the amount of stack space required? This can lead to a chaos during program execution if any variables were defined at that location. If we donot use the interrrupts, then what is the criterion for allocating the stack space? Mohit
