out of memory error

out of memory error

[Kihong Heo]

Hello caml list.

I'm suffering "out of memory" problem.
My program makes large graphs, but I didn't expect they need so much memory like that.
(I'm not sure there is the infinite loop or not..)

Can't I use "ocamlrun -v" for my program such that it use foreign language interface with C.
If I couldn't, can you give me a good debugging methodology?
It's very difficult to find out that error because of using foreign language interface..

I'm waiting for your cool answer.

Best,

The OCaml runtime options are controlled by an environment variable:
OCAMLRUNPARAM.  You can set this variable with "setenv" or "export"
(depending on your shell) before running your program.  You do not
need to call ocamlrun explicitely with command-line arguments.

This feature is documented here:
