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

[elextr]

@AdamDanischewski ok, but there is still no obvious amount to keep in reserve, how much memory is used for things like saving files depends on the size of the file.  And since there is an unknown amount of memory allocated in libraries the "reserve" memory would have to be de-allocated to make it available, and then Geany has no control over where it is used.

The best solution is to not crash or hang on memory exhaustion and to try to notify the user to save files.  If they save and close small files more memory will progressively become available.  If they only have one huuge file open then there is not much to do about it.  Also note that the problem currently will only occur on 32 bit builds, which currently means windows, but if someone contributes the build process for 64 bit windows that can be made available.
