[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Geany should check Scintilla status after operations (#1569)

[AdamDanischewski]

>  Its not even possible to report if a program is running out of address space (which is actually what the 32bit windows problem is) because many library functions use memory that Geany has no idea about.

@elextr  I realize that Geany/Scintilla won't know what the rest of the machine will do, yet what it can do is keep a healthy buffer amount of memory allocated and if it fails to grab more then warn the user. It may take up some more memory as a result but if you make it an option it may be useful for people dealing with large files.
