Re: Unsure as to what an error message is really telling me

As a followup, NT is returning the error ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY for a
1,201,850 byte write. That error isn't documented for WriteFile ()
except for asynchronous I/O, which we're not doing here.

It's possible that the Win32 layer is trying to allocate a buffer to
set up the actual file I/O call to the lower NT API layer and it is
this allocate that fails. I can find no reference anywhere on this.
The SVN process has no grown fat in my case - 8 MB of memory usage -
so it's hard to see what's wrong.

I just got this error too, and it does not require extremely large files.
As shown at the end, I had a 610,553 byte file of 9,540 lines, every one
of which changed, and it failed with 1.7 GB of RAM (3 GB of swap) free.
A file I/O trace of SVN shows that it opens the text-base of the file
in question, the file istself, reads both, and gives an error without
ever attempting a file write.

Based on the error message, the line numbers in your diff, and the
existence of this issue (which Sander Striker is hard at work on)
   http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1481
I'm tempted to say that svn was unable to diff a very large file
because it was unable to hold it all in memory :-).

Are they always with such large files?
