I think that if there should be a default limit it would be nice to be able to set it at compile time. This is something that I've wanted for quite some time. If I know that the program I am compiling is likely to need 100M of heap space it feels silly having to give the RTS parameter to the program each time I run it. It would be much more convenient to just tell the compiler where I want the limit.
You can do this using the hooks that the RTS provides, although it's a bit inconvenient at the moment because as Sigbjorn points out we don't ship the RtsFlags.h file which contains the definition of the flags structure :-(
I'd like to be able to set these options with a flag to the compiler. --Dylan Thurston
