[Sbcl-help] changing heap size

[Kai-Florian R. <ri...@in...>]

Hi!

Just some related quick questions regarding heap size (in order of
increasing ignorance):

1) Is there a way to see the (maximum) heap size SBCL is currently
using / offering?
2) Can I change this heap size in a running SBCL?
3) Does the command line argument '--dynamic-space-size' set this heap
size (or at least part of it)?
3b) Do you really state the space size in MBytes (as in
--dynamic-space-size 250)? I pretty much got a "heap exhausted" message
right away. Having --dynamic-space-size 250.000.000 seems to work much
better...

4) Finally (and possibly stupid, but since I'm at it): do these command
line arguments also work when setting SBCL as inferior lisp in SLIME
(yes, I admit I haven't checked any manual w.r.t. this: mea culpa)

I'm on x86 Linux btw...

Thanks!
Kai-Florian
