I have a clean -- error free -- script....it wont compile. The reason? Out of memory!
Just when I worked around all of the other problems....now a new one. Wonderful.
Has anyone else seen this problem?

Yes. First, save a backup of your script with comments (in an offline text/script editor). Then, remove all comments from the version you wish to compile. If that doesn't work, you'll need to move some functionality to a second script within the same prim, and send data between your two scripts via link messages.

From: DoteDote Edison ...you'll need to move some functionality to a second script within the same prim, and send data between your two scripts via link messages. Thanks...already doing this. Looks like it is a third script now since I am concerned that the second script already in place may end up having the same problem. I hope the newer, mono-based runtime that I have heard about will address issues like this. In the mean time , there's llMessageLinked  Thanks... -2fast |

Yes, scripts on objects have a finate amount of memory availabe to them. If your script get to be to big or uses alot of variables and lists you just have to think of someway of cutting it down.

The problem is that I was able to compile this before the update - that is how I know the script is syntactically error free. Maybe this has something to do with the character set LL is using now for scripts and notecards.

Maybe this has something to do with the character set LL is using now for scripts and notecards. Is there any info available on character set byte usage? Could be they using 16 instead of 8 bits/char. If so, any character storage would need twice the size. Are you a major user of preset strings? Maybe the lslint guy could comment on this. His syntax checker was excellent in picking where the lsl compiler would run out of stack space. Not sure that helps, I think llMessageLinked will become your (hated) friend! Ed edit: If LL did change the character display storage, would that not break existing scripts? So maybe this is just an update error in the online lsl compiler. |

Probably a change in the compiler. LL's life would be easier if they just increased the constraints for the compiler then after the script was compiled went back and made sure it was the proper size. There are a bunch of stupid things the compiler does that should be fixed.

From: ed44 Gupte Are you a major user of preset strings? Yes..I have a lot of fixed strings in this particular script (they give directions, and add lables to data output via llSay, llWhisper, or llInstantMessage. I managed to get it working using llMessageLinked - just a pain to have to rework it again. As an asside...guess what happened once it compiled? Stack heap collision  That was another problem and solved again using llMessageLinked. I have not tried lsllint in a while...maybe time to go back. Thanks, -2fast |
