[Caml-list] What happend to my application?

[Tom Hawkins]

Hello,

I'm using Ocaml as an interpreter to a language I designed.
I just ran it with a large program and the interpreter dies.
What happend?  The only error message was "killed".

I was monitering the cpu process with "top" and the 
interpreter was only consuming 70% of memory when
it was killed.  I've tried both regular and native compilation and the
results are the same.

Thanks,
Tom

I'm using Linux (i386).
I tried both native and byte-code compilation 
and both produce the same message: "Killed".

If the OS is killing it, is there some way to adjust
the settings to let it run a little bit longer?

You probably run out of stack space. Native compilation handles larger
programs than byte-coded. (In byte-coded you should get an error message
saying out of stack. Which OS do you use?)

When I get that problem it is often List.map over large list (more than
a 1000 elements) that is the reason. List.map is not tail-recursive.
Rewrite into a loop and use an accumulator (or use rev_map).
