OutOfMemoryError

OutOfMemoryError()

An operation allocated too much memory for either the system or the garbage collector to handle properly.

Examples

The OutOfMemoryError() function in Julia is used to raise an error when an operation allocates excessive memory for the system or garbage collector to handle properly.

Example:

julia> function allocate_memory()
           arr = zeros(Int, 10^9)  # Allocate a large array
       end

julia> try
           allocate_memory()
       catch err
           if err isa OutOfMemoryError
               println("Memory allocation failed!")
           end
       end

In this example, the allocate_memory() function tries to create a large array of size 10^9. If the system or garbage collector cannot handle this allocation, it will raise an OutOfMemoryError. The try-catch block is used to catch the error, and if it is an OutOfMemoryError, it prints a custom error message.

It is important to note that OutOfMemoryError is typically raised automatically by the system or garbage collector when memory allocation fails. It is not usually directly called in user code.
