Re: [Bug-apl] script "Killed"

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi, if the problem was triggered by a lack of memory, then you can set ⎕SYL[3] to a reasonable nonzero value. That will stop the APL program when the limit is reached, but remain in the interpreter. I am unfortunately not aware of a method that can predict in a reliable, efficient, and portable way, whether a memory allocation will succeed or not (or, for that matter, if the system will start swapping). /// Jürgen On 02/17/2016 02:21 AM, Christian Robert wrote: I would say that you are out of memory. Killed alone means killed by the system. # dmesg | tail -n 50 will probably confirm the out of memory condition. Xtian.

Does anyone have any idea what happened here? Is this possible to avoid? -Alex
