Because people don't always use your processor and other IDEs need this information.

Maybe you should put this important information inside your auto generated linker script, so people won't ask those questions to your obvious system behavior..

The *default* startup code in an LPCXpresso generated application does not have a fixed stack size. Instead, the heap and stack share the memory from the end of the application data to the end of RAM.

The stack starts from the end of RAM and the heap starts from the end of the application data, 'meeting' somewhere in the middle. If your application uses too much heap, or if you use too much stack, then the heap and stack can 'collide' and overwrite each other, typically resulting in a hard fault or weird application behaviour.

So, the question is, why do you think you need to increase your stack size?
