Great work Kiste, time to fix those typos. You can add your name to the library somewhere.
When I originally created this I didn't think anyone would use it, it was just a fun lib to create at the time. I guess my bit array library is more useless. Matt.

I've set it to 14.5kB: max_bytes_pic16=$((58*256)) That way you can use all the memory in a linear fashion without stitching together several large_arrays. I would, however, keep a minimum of four large_arrays as it was like that until now. The only drawback on the greater size of the large_array is that the compiler takes longer to compile. Over 1700 arrays of 256 bytes each are defined, most of them thrown out again as unused. That takes a bit of time. Greets, Kiste Am Mittwoch, 9.

We could add enough large arrays to Jallib to cover the 13 kB and we should mention that they are created with your script. So we would at least need 7 large arrays instead of the current 4. If more memory comes available we could generate more libraries. We must also save your script on GitHub then. What do the others think?

Recently, new PIC controllers were released which break through the 4kB RAM boundary, and there are more announced with up to 13kB. The compiler has been updated to correctly address all of that memory, thanks Rob! Now, if you want to use that lot of memory, soon you'll notice that there is no way to use it in a linear way. Arrays can only hold 256 bytes, and the large_array libs only go to 2048 bytes. There are four of them, so even when you use the RAM in four chunks, with the current version of large_array you can only use 8kB. Attached you'll find a bash script which generates the large_array libs, including the output files adjusted to cover the so-far largest RAM space in a single array. The source code generated is nearly the same as with the current large_array (including typos in the comments) written by Matt. Of course everyone is encouraged to test your programs with these libraries, but as the source code generated is virtually the same as the current, I presume there shouldn't be any problems.
