Eliminating runtime WARNING message

Help & Support
1

I was (re)testing more code with 1.1.1 and still see an annoying runtime WARNING still being outputted that I would love to see eliminated.

When I run this code:

with very large UInt64 inputs I get these repeated WARNINGs about the allocation of very large blocks of memory, as shown in this example.

For much smaller values it doesn’t produce those warnings.

Is there a way to currently turn off those warnings, either at compile or runtime?

This is with Crystal 1.1.1 on Linux, and I have 16GB of memory on my laptop.

There’s this: Add a way to supress the warnings from the GC · Issue #4441 · crystal-lang/crystal · GitHub

Thanks @asterite that worked suppressing warnings as shown.

GC_LARGE_ALLOC_WARN_INTERVAL=1000 CRYSTAL_WORKERS=8 ./twinprimes_ssoz 1299966672300000 1298760077778888

EDIT: Had to increase to 1500 (> number threads used) to eliminate all warnings.
