lattr() Limit

[Four Geeks Gaming]

Is there a config parameter that can lift the limit on lattr()? I'm working with a system that has the potential to have to search through hundreds of attributes but lattr cuts off around 375. Just wondering if there's a way to bump that a bit. Thanks.

There isn't a configuration parameter, but it is limited by the size of an LBUF which is controlled by the following in alloc.h:

#define LBUF_SIZE   8000    // Large

For example, FiranMUX increased that to 24000. 

 

This is, strictly speaking, a hardcode change, and it affects the format of the database, so there is a bit of a dance if you are already running the server. You need to unload the database -before- making the change, take a backup, make the change, re-compile cleanly, then delete the existing database and reload cleanly. Also, you need to remember to continue making this hardcode change every time you build the server on a new box. When in doubt, backup early and often.

Thanks, that got it. :)

If you raise it about 32K, you'll need to adjust the BMH code or long string searches will hang.  cf. https://github.com/lashtear/tinymux/commit/2af2f13b98bbd6f51f2bca258b8aa6810ed01bd1
