My test involved running a simple program something like this .sub _main .local pmc pmc1 pmc1 = new ResizableBooleanArray pmc1[1000] = 1 .end and incrementing the '1000'. I found that for every element I added, parrot allocated 64 extra bytes. (I monitored parrot's calls to malloc() with -DDETAIL_MEMORY_DEBUG.) Hence if I want to store 1,000 bits, parrot will call malloc() to allocate 64,000 bytes. That's why I said it "uses 64 bytes per bit of information". I apologize in advance if I have misunderstood the correct way to use ResizableBooleanArray or what the number '1000' means in the above example. -- Andy Dougherty [EMAIL PROTECTED]
