Re: [eclipse-clp-users] Problem regarding Stack size Overflow !

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply

I was using the 32 bit Eclipse with a 64 bit Windows 7 OS. I could not find
a version for the 64 bit usage on the download page on the site.

As far as why the memory may shoot up is probably not due to the array size
itself but rather the kind of constraints and equations that feature in the
program, they are large equations, and in totality cover a huge number of
these terms present in this array.
There is one equation that itself contains 3000x3000 terms
and then there are 3000x3000 small equations  ... so that may heavily shoot
up numbers.
