system_context_size(3) Arcan Lua API system_context_size(3) NAME system_context_size - Change the number of vids allowed at once in new con- texts. SYNOPSIS nil system_context_size( newlim ) DESCRIPTION There is a low limit on the amount of video objects that are allowed to be alive in a context. Attempts to allocate beyond this limit is a terminal state transition, as a means of allowing early resource leak detection and as a means of encouraging use of the context- stack to keep resource usage low. NOTES 1 Accepted values for newlim is 0 < n <= 65536 2 These changes will not effect the currently active context, only those that gets activated when the current context is pushed or when the outmost context is poped. 3 Invalid context sizes is a terminal state transition. 4 The default initial context size is set to 1k, which should be enough for everyone. EXAMPLE function system_context_size0() local a, b = current_context_usage(); warning("current: " .. a); warning("requesting new size"); system_context_size(64); a, b = current_context_usage(); warning("current: " .. a); warning("poping"); pop_video_context(); a, b = current_context_usage(); warning("current: " .. a); end MISUSE function system_context_size0() system_context_size(-10); end MISUSE function system_context_size1() system_context_size(0); end system August 2026 system_context_size(3)
