<br>After some extensive source code browsing I finally understood the role<br>of the ECL_OPT_HEAP_SIZE enum and of its associated hard-coded default value<br>of 128 Meg in vector "option_values". <br><br>In the current state of the code there is indeed a hard-coded upper limit on the total<br>
memory ECL can use. It is basically 128 Meg of heap space plus a few other Megs<br>of private (probably static) space. If one recompiles with a different value in the<br>proper entry of "option_values" the then resulting instance of ECL will use the newly<br>
provided value as its limit.<br><br>Is there any reason for "option_values" not to be accessible from some command line<br>argument? Is this simply that the code for that never got completed? The "option_values"<br>
vector seems such a natural thing to control through command line arguments...<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Jean-Claude Beaudoin<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 5:19 PM, Jean-Claude Beaudoin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jean.claude.beaudoin@gmail.com">jean.claude.beaudoin@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

It seems to be hard coded at 132 Meg and that is quite too small for my taste on a machine with 4 Gig!<br>
<br>I suspect that I need to modify some constant in a ".h" file and recompile. Is that it?<br>
