enlarge-static

Function
Summary

Enlarges the size of the first static segment.

Package

hcl

Signature

enlarge-static size => result

Arguments

size

A non-negative fixnum .

Values

result

A boolean.

Description

This function can be used when the system would otherwise allocate additional static segments. Such additional segments would cause the application to grow irreversibly.

size is the amount (in bytes) by which the static segment is to be enlarged. It is rounded up to a multiple of 64K.

result is t if the static segment was successfully enlarged, and nil otherwise.

Use room, with argument t , to find the size of the static segments, and thus the size by which to enlarge the first static segment.
