Hello again!

I think this topic does allready exists from the past. did not know.
What I would like to see is:

That Dim gives back a result if there is not enough memory for it. In my applications I need huge dimensions and its possible not enough memory there so PB only crashes. not realy nice.
So, how could I check this or is it possible to implement this in the Dim Command?

I wouldn't use Dim in large memory allocations. Think it's out of scope for the Dim command. Prefer to use AllocateMemory() and make my own routines to fetch data arraywise

Else try calc the memory size of the Dim and do a ruff check with the win32 API GlobalMemoryStatus.

Code: Select all

MS.MEMORYSTATUS

MS\dwLength = SizeOf(MEMORYSTATUS)
GlobalMemoryStatus_(@MS)
Debug "Avail mem: "+Str(MS\dwAvailPhys)

end
