Re: Memory for large arrays in cygwin/g77

It may also be possible to workaround the problem by fooling around with the

See

or
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-07/msg00646.html for the full gory details,
and look up the "-Wl,--stack=XXXX" option. You might need to play around with
values for the stack size until you find one that helps!
Thanks for the "full gory details" links. They're a bit beyond me at
first glance, but I will read them more carefully later. In the
meantime, I can report that mucking about with the stack size via
"-Wl,--stack=XXXX" doesn't do anything useful to increase the
maximum-array size supported by Cygwin g77 and gfc. Increasing it by,
say, a factor of 2 over the default (2 MiB IIRC) causes the program to
exit with no error message but no output. Smaller increases might allow
a few extra bytes, but no more than that.
