MemoryConstrained

Usage

• MemoryConstrained[expr, b] evaluates expr, stopping if more than b bytes of memory are requested.
• MemoryConstrained[expr, b, failexpr] returns failexpr if the memory constraint is not met.

Notes

• MemoryConstrained generates an interrupt to stop the evaluation of expr if the amount of additional memory requested during the evaluation of expr exceeds b bytes.

• MemoryConstrained evaluates failexpr only if the evaluation is aborted.

• MemoryConstrained returns $Aborted if the evaluation is aborted and no failexpr is specified.

• Aborts generated by MemoryConstrained are treated just like those generated by Abort, and can thus be overruled by AbortProtect.

• See Section 2.14.4.

• See also: TimeConstrained, MaxMemoryUsed, $RecursionLimit, Abort.
