Hi all,

im stuck again with something simple. there is a 4-dimensional array, but it gives segmentation fault when one of dimensions is big like 30000. dont know why :"(



#include <time.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


#define N_I 30000


int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
printf("!!!!1 \n");
int m[18][30][N_I][4];
int i,j,k,l;
for (i=0;i<18;i++)
for (j=0;j<30;j++)
for (k=0;k<N_I;k++)
for (l=0;l<4;l++)
{
m[i][j][k][l]=i+j+k+l;
printf("%d\n",m[i][j][k][l]);
}

return 0;
}


it works fine when N_I=300; but crashes when N_I=30000;



thank you

ups, i think i got it, i run in on cluster and since big arrays take a lot of space may be it was not allowed to take it, but when i run it on my laptop it works.


sorry

You cant use that many loops. Your program crashes. Depending on how much your RAM capacity is, there are limitations.
Once I was trying to create a word combination list, I used multiple for loops but my core got dumped.
Its way more complex than you could understand.

If you wish, try increasing the size of your stack, using the following command:
Then re-run your program.... but seriously, why would you want to? Do you really want the program looping so many times?

Next time, if you require a large array (single or multi-dimensional), allocate it on the heap rather than declare it on the stack.
