Re: [cdt-dev] Memory usage

[turnham@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,

Yes that is what we should be doing...I've opened bug #13791
(http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=13791) to track it.  One
issue I've heard is that usually jvm's don't keep enough memory available
to do any object instantiation after the OutOfMemory, so we'll have to
experiment with what we can actually do after the exception occurs.  We'll
probably have to have some global pointing to objects that we can delete
immediately.

Right, I see.  Perhaps the thing to do would be to generate a prompt
that says

"You have run out of memory while trying to parse this object.

You might be able to complete the parse by reducing the parse depth.
See <http://foo.bar.barf>"

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Andrew.
