    Link problem

    Hi
    Nice to meet you, I have problem about link between main.c and sub.h.
    The error message is "segment error".
    So my program is written as follow below:
    In main.c
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <math.h>
    
    #include "sub.h"
    
    int main()
    {
           double K[50000][50000];
    
           sub (K);
    }


    In sub.h
    Code:
    void sub(double K[][50000])
    {
        K[0][0]=5;  
    }
    It can be run if i use K[15000][15000].
    Why i can not use the array size bigger than 15000?
    Please help me.
    Thank you in advance.

    Stack size is more limited than heap size, so you have to use a dynamically allocated array instead.

    I get maybe two dozen requests for help with some sort of programming or design problem every day. Most have more sense than to send me hundreds of lines of code. If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    At 15,000 x 15,000 doubles you're already up to 1.6 GB. You won't be able to get as high as 16,384x 16,384 because I believe there's a 2 GB limit on memory any application can occupy. Or maybe 4 now.
