Hi all,
I am running into a weird problem with Mata. Is there a limit to how many variables you can declare inside a function? I am writing a large function (part of several functions in a library). When I now add the following line to the top of my main function:
real scalar newest_var
I get the following error when I try to compile (the error occurs a few hundred lines down after the declaration):
no room to add more symbols
r(3000);
followed by many more mata errors. Deleting that one line of code, -real scalar newest_var-, resolves the problem and allows my function to compile. Furthermore, I do not get an error if I add declare additional variables in my other (much smaller) functions; I only see it when I now try to declare more variables in my main, large function. I find it hard to believe that there would be a limit to how many variables you can declare. (I've declared a few hundred at MOST.) Any ideas??
Thanks.
