alloca() throws an exception when out of stack memory. But what would the dynamically alloced array do when it runs out of memory? (Supposing that those arrays are also created on the stack, which I don't know...) Is that realy more complicated?
You get a run-time error. Or rather, you get a run-time error if you're out of address space. If you go out of memory, swapping mechanisms are used. And in turn, if the swapping mechanisms fail, you'll get a run-time error AFAIK. -- Erik "kusma" Faye-Lund kusmabite@gmail.com (+47) 986 59 656
