CLHS: Constant Variable ARRAY-TOTAL-SIZE-LIMIT

#

Constant Variable ARRAY-TOTAL-SIZE-LIMIT

Constant Value:

A positive fixnum, the exact magnitude of which is implementation-dependent, but which is not less than `1024`.

Description:

The upper exclusive bound on the array total size of an array.

The actual limit on the array total size imposed by the implementation might vary according the element type of the array; in this case, the value of array-total-size-limit will be the smallest of these possible limits.

Examples: None.

See Also:

make-array, array-element-type

Notes: None.

The following X3J13 cleanup issue, not part of the specification, applies to this section:
