In C++ it probably must be declared as extern "C" unsigned ...

That's not runtime adjustment. The stack is allocated in the strtup code, and
uses the value in _stklen. Is you change it afterwards (say as first line in
main()) that will have no effect.

No side effect other than they both are ignored. :)
