RTOS stack overflow — silent memory corruption from undersized task stacks
You picked your stack sizes by guessing. So did everyone. When a task overflows its stack, it silently corrupts adjacent memory. No fault, no warning, just mysterious behavior days later.
Why generic AI tools miss this
Generic AI code review and debugging tools are trained primarily on web and backend code. RTOS Stack Overflow requires understanding of hardware-software interaction at the register level — something that represents a tiny fraction of any general model's training data.
The danger is that a generic tool will give you advice that looks correct but misses the hardware-specific nuance. For rtos stack overflow, the nuance is everything — a subtly wrong answer compiles, links, and flashes successfully, then fails in the field.
Affected MCU families
RTOS Stack Overflow is particularly relevant to these platforms. Each has its own variant of the problem and its own mitigation strategy.
