The OS (or DPMI server) does this automatically if needed and not disabled.

See the DJGPP FAQ list, section 8.15.

That depends on how long your procedures are.  Other than with BP, there is
no limit in GPC how long a procedure can become besides your virtual RAM.

In practise, I am often surprised hwo small my procedures get when compiled
with optimization (-O, -O2, or -O3).
