Checking stack usage at compile time

Is there a way to know and output the stack size needed by a function at compile time in C ? Here is what I would like to know :

Let's take some function :

void foo(int a) {
    char c[5];
    char * s;
    //do something
    return;
}

When compiling this function, I would like to know how much stack space it will consume whent it is called. This might be useful to detect the on stack declaration of a structure hiding a big buffer.

I am looking for something that would print something like this :

file foo.c : function foo stack usage is n bytes

Is there a way not to look at the generated assembly to know that ? Or a limit that can be set for the compiler ?

Update : I am not trying to avoid runtime stack overflow for a given process, I am looking for a way to find before runtime, if a function stack usage, as determined by the compiler, is available as an output of the compilation process.

Let's put it another way : is it possible to know the size of all the objects local to a function ? I guess compiler optimization won't be my friend, because some variable will disappear but a superior limit is fine.
