I'm talking about keeping a certain memory reserve at all times, that is set to something sensible that could be modified in a setting by the user and if the healthy buffer theshold amount cannot be allocated then the warning happens. This would allow the user to "tidy up" and save the program before any crash/freeze event occurs. Thereafter the save the buffers are wiped out and there is enough memory again. Not simply allocating a healthy buffer initially and then writing to it until it runs all the way out and hope that it can allocate more - it could be dangerous letting things go that far. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
