I am writing something which has a lot of data in a structure (about 20000 integers - it's a tile table). This appears to be pushing the stack in the interpreter on mobile devices to the limit - causing errors "interp stack" in the ADB log (running it over broadcast crashes)

Can I ask, when you pass a parameter by reference, does it just use an actual reference or does it plonk the whole thing on the stack and remove it again when the function completes ? I suspect the latter because reference parameters are relatively recent ?

If the latter this has issues both for performance and for memory usage.

I can work round it easy enough, but I just wondered.

Paul - What's the data configuration and function call?

That's why Object Pascal case const keyword in function calls. It means "give a read-only pointer."

Ah, fixed it. Really dumb error. Forgot the 0xCxxxxxxxx is actually negative..... so it allocated insane amounts of memory. Impressed it worked on the PC
