well, looking around I found the following in dalvik/vm/init.c: /* Defaults overridden by -Xms and -Xmx. * TODO: base these on a system or application-specific default */ gDvm.heapSizeStart = 2 * 1024 * 1024; // Spec says 16MB; too big for us. gDvm.heapSizeMax = 16 * 1024 * 1024; // Spec says 75% physical mem;
I notice that gDvm.heapSizeMax gets passed (directly or indirectly) to the rest of the vm code. Also, are the comments mentioned in the code true? Can we avoid the default limit by passing larger values to the said arguments? thanks .
