VM_MAXIMUM_MEM
On a typical machine, the memory block
pre-allocated for LISp is around 256 MB - this is sufficient for
99% of all Lisp applications.
Nevertheless, we got around 2...3 cases
reported by Lisp developers, where this memory was not sufficient,
and an "out-of-memory"situation happened.
Usually, such LISP code temporarily required
some more memory for huge list data ... normally, fixing and
redesigning the way way as such huge amount of data is to be
processed will prevent such out-of-memory cases.
But if necessary, the amount of reserved LISP
memory can be adjusted by VM_MAXIMUM_MEM.
|
Arguments |
integer number 0 ... 850, specifies the amount of memory to be used (0 means "automatically adjusted") |
|
Default |
0 - memory size is automatically adjusted, normally reserves ~256 MB as LISP memory |
|
Example |
VM_MAXIMUM_MEM #
400 |
|
Remarks |
effect of VM_MAXIMUM_MEM setting can be verified with (mem) function, which reports actual memory usage |
