Moving large variables from stack to heap

[jeremy_h]

Hi friends,

With CVF, we had a routine that declared a large array (say 50mb). Since we did not adjust the CVF program stack size, I think I can assume that the CVF compiler chose to put this on the heap instead of the stack.

With our current project settings, IVF tries to put this on the stack, and we need 64mb of stack for the routine to not crash on entry. Is there a way to trick or force IVF to put large variables on the heap, perhaps with some AUTOMATIC setting, or reentrency or SAVE or something.

Regards,

Read about the

/heap-arrays[:n]

compiler option.

CVF made the array static, not on the heap.

Both excellent answers and very helpful.
