This has been suggested a few times including once by me; see e.g. http://search.gmane.org/search.php?group=gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel&query=stack+size
Since those previous discussions, though, threads have been added to
the C++ standard, and the thread class in the standard doesn't include
this. It is conceivable that Boost.Thread might continue to evolve and
gain more features [maybe Anthony will comment], but I think it's more
likely that people will use std::thread instead and we will have to
learn to live with fixed stack sizes. (Or write our own thread
classes, which is simple enough if we're not concerned with portability.)
