Stack usage measurement in a C program on windows

Question

I want to know stack usage of my C application using some tool.

I tried exploring some on net, but couldn't get any useful tool. Couple of tools like vmmap, Process Monitor do give me stack count, but I am skeptical if it is reliable.

Please suggest any tool or means to calculate stack usage.

Is XPerf I mentioned in my solution an option for you? It depends on the OS your application is running under though.

Please have a look at this: XPerf[^]. This tool also includes a viewer (XperfViewer). The tool works on XP & Windows 2003 Server but doesn't have the capability to trace stack usage on those OSs. From Vista/Windows2008 on upwards stack usage can also be traced.
