The linker use it because it is the only means that they have to pass information from the linker to the code that have already been compiled. The same mecanism is used with the heap (__SYSMEM_SIZE). The code can get the value by using somthing linke : extern int _STACK_SIZE[]; // you must place only 1 underscore // and use an extern array definition and to get the size : int StackSize = (int)(_STACK_SIZE); // you do cast what the compiler think is an address (the base address of // the _STACK_SIZE array but which in reality the stack size as imposed by the linker Jean-Michel MERCIER

By which you mean _STACK_SIZE has a VALUE which is NOT AN ADDRESS, but which is the SIZE of the allocated stack, right? So while it appears to the original user that it's value is the same as the address of their vector section, it's merely a coincidence. If they change the size of the allocated stack (RTFM), the coincidence will no longer exist. -W
