Re: Array size problem

Hi there!

Probably it is unavaiable such a big continous memory area, try to solve this with aray with pointers to smaller areas. Could you mail me a source code, i'll try this on WinXP box(i have one @ work).



#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    float a[7000000];
    printf("DONE\n");
}

If you request a sufficiently large block of memory you should get the runtime popup reporting the "unknown software exception". On linux you'll get a "segmentation fault".

Cheers,
Rob
