Comment (by javran):
I'm newcomer and thinking about working on this ticket.
I investigated a little bit, there are currently 3 places where a RTS
suggestion appears:
* in `StackOverflowHook` of `rts/hooks/StackOverflow.c`:
{{{
fprintf(stderr, "Stack space overflow: current size %" FMT_Word "
bytes.\nUse `+RTS -Ksize -RTS' to increase it.\n", stack_size);
}}}
* in `OutOfHeapHook` of `rts/hooks/OutOfHeap.c`
{{{
if (heap_size > 0) {
errorBelch("Heap exhausted;\nCurrent maximum heap size is %" FMT_Word
" bytes (%" FMT_Word " MB);\nuse `+RTS -M<size>' to increase it.",
heap_size, heap_size / (1024*1024));
} else {
errorBelch("out of memory");
}
}}}
* in `nextEra` of `rts/ProfHeap.c`:
{{{
if (era == max_era) {
errorBelch("maximum number of censuses reached; use +RTS -i to
reduce");
stg_exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
}}}
And the error message saying `"Most RTS options are disabled."` comes from
`rts/RtsFlags.c`.
It seems that we need to know the value of `RtsOptsEnabledEnum enabled` to
tell whether RTS options are available, but this value is only passed
around `setupRtsFlags` and `procRtsOpts` during command line parsing.
Is there some way to check the availability of RTS options for 3 places I
mentioned above?
