Topic: Virtual Memory Usage

[snownut2]

Odd question;

Is it possible to temporarily write a DCL file to virtual memory from a LISP, use it within that LISP then delete it from VIRTUAL Memory.  I am having issues writing the DCL file to disk as Windows 7 security features are a PITA.  Not sure if this would solve my issue, depending on the ease fo being able to do so.

If it is possible, any ideas on the coding.

Thanks,
Bruce

I think not, and also I think writing direct to VM would be even more of a PITA.

Have you tried writing the DCL to another folder? Generally I do this by writing to the folder in the TempPrefix system variable. You generally have write access to that folder.

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (setq f (open (strcat (getenv "USERPROFILE") "\\Desktop\\test.dcl") "w"))

or

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (setq f (open (strcat (getenv "TEMP") "\\test.dcl") "w"))

For relatively small DCL files, I recommend:

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (setq tmp (vl-filename-mktemp nil nil ".dcl"))
2.  
3. < Write & Load DCL file >
4.  
5. (vl-file-delete tmp)

Example.
