.. title:: INIT_STACKS

.. option:: CONFIG_INIT_STACKS

*Initialize stack areas*

Type: ``bool``

Help
====

This option instructs the kernel to initialize stack areas with a
known value (0xaa) before they are first used, so that the high
water mark can be easily determined. This applies to the stack areas
for threads, as well as to the interrupt stack.

Defaults
========

No defaults. Implicitly defaults to ``n``.
