Hi Simon, thanks for your quick reply. 1) ... so you can reproduce this? 2) Do you know a way how this can be 'foreseen'? We allocate larger matrices in the copula package depending on the user's input dimension. It would be good to tell her/him "Your dimension is quite large. Be aware of killers in your neighborhood"... before the killer attacks. Thanks & cheers,

Since that decision is made by the kernel and it doesn't expose its thinking about how it feels, it's hard to tell. I couldn't find any API on OS X akin to didReceiveMemoryWarning in iOS, unfortunately. You could guess - e.g. by checking the total system memory int mib [] = { CTL_HW, HW_MEMSIZE }; int64_t value = 0; size_t length = sizeof(value); sysctl(mib, 2, &value, &length, NULL, 0); and comparing it to the sizes involved. However, even that is not foolproo...
