Hi

I would like a tip to start newlisp-tk passing -s (stack size) to specify
a diferent default.

I have tried to change the "properties" in the start-up icon from:
"C:\Program Files\newlisp\newlisp-tk.exe"

to

"C:\Program Files\newlisp\newlisp-tk.exe" "-s 10000"

but it did not worked.

The HTML newlisp-tk dcumentation did not clarified how to pass newlisp
start-up options.

Could anyone help me.

Thanks

Not an easy question.
I am not aware of a command to modify the stack of a running newLISP.
We can only use the commandline-switch of the newLISP.exe.

In newLISP-tk we have the additional layer of TK.
There we can access the commandline-args via '(tk-args)' but there
we are to late because newLISP.exe is running yet.

The only thing I can think of in the moment is to change 'newlisp-tk.tcl'-source like this: or Lutz make a new var in 'newlisp-tk.config' called

set Ide(newLISPstack) "1024"
Later: Just tried both ways and it works as expected. So Lutz can consider this change and take it into the wrapped distribution.

Code: Select all

# start local copy of newLISP only if running newLISP and newLISP-tk on the same host
# else assume that newLISP already has been started at the remote $Ide(newLISPhost)
if { $remoteFlag == 0 } {
	set newLISPpid [exec $Ide(newLISPbin)/newlisp -p $Ide(newLISPport) -s 10000 &] }

# connect to newLISP

or Lutz make a new var in 'newlisp-tk.config' called

set Ide(newLISPstack) "1024"

Code: Select all

# start local copy of newLISP only if running newLISP and newLISP-tk on the same host
# else assume that newLISP already has been started at the remote $Ide(newLISPhost)
if { $remoteFlag == 0 } {
	set newLISPpid [exec $Ide(newLISPbin)/newlisp -p $Ide(newLISPport) -s $Ide(newLISPstack) &] }

# connect to newLISP

Could also do 'complete' job and expand this solution to cover ALL newlisp
start up options

Not much other options there which would make sense with neweLISP-TK:

-m = would be usefull here too!
-c = make no sense here, no visible console window
-d = make no sense here
-x = make no sense here
-e = make no sense here
-h = make no sense here

So 'Stack Size' and 'Memory Usage' remains for newLISP-Tk to set.
