;max message list
Oct 27 2008 | 3:23 pm
Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone could point me towards a document/site that
contains all the nifty ;max messages you can pass to max (e.g. ";max crash"
:-).
More importantly, I was wondering if there is a message in Max 5 (apparently
there isn't one in 4) that would clear the Max window stack (or alternately
turn off the Max window output altogether)? I ask this because I am not sure
what is the Max window's max size and consequently how it handles
ever-growing volume of messages (does it continue to gobble all the memory
until it runs out or it actually has a FIFO or something similar in place
with a fixed size and if so, what is this size)? In other words is it safe
to leave Max running for a long period of time (e.g. weeks, or even months)
with low but steady stream of printed messages without having to worry about
running out of memory (or other similar joyous occasion)?
