initialize array with stackoverflow error

I have simple method:

void loadContent()
{
    int test[500000];
    test[0] = 1;
}

when I call this method, this error occurs:

Unhandled exception at 0x00007FF639E80458 in RasterizeEditor.exe: 0xC00000FD: Stack overflow (parameters: 0x0000000000000001, 0x000000AE11EB3000).

I changed the arraysize to 100 and everything is working fine... but I need 500000 integer values, so what should I do? C++ must be able to manage 500000 int values in one array, can the problem be somewhere else? or does I just have to change a setting of visual studio 2015?

When you create array like this, it's located into the "stack", but apparently your stack'size isn't sufficient.

You can try to place it into another place, like the "heap" (with dynamic memory allocation like malloc) like:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void loadContent()
{
  int    *test = malloc(sizeof(int) * 500000);

  if (!test) {
     fprintf(stderr, "malloc error\n");
     exit(1);
  }
  test[0] = 1;
}
