| Summary | 0000544: ! No room for a new \write | ||||
| Description | Dear developers, I gave LuaLaTeX on an actual MiKTeX a try [Version beta-0.60.2-2010100221 (MiKTeX 2.9) (rev 3736)] and ran into problems I also have when I use pdflatex. Running the attached dummy minimal gives ! No room for a new \write . \alloc@ ...else \errmessage {No room for a new 0000002} \fi \fi l.48 \begin{document} ? Commenting one or more of the marked lines (% <--) shits the error message until if finally fanishes when all the marked lines are commented. Could the number of writes be enlarged? Best regards, Stefan Pinnow | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Just run lualatex on the provided minimal.tex file. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

I tried to patch LuaTeX to allow more write streams, but the number 16 is hard-coded at various distant places in the code, so that would be a major undertaking. The better solution is to patch LaTeX packages to use use Lua (which has no hard limits) if it is available. Joseph has just written a blog post about write streams: http://www.texdev.net/2010/12/31/file-operation-limitations/ |

|
Markus Kohm claims to have written a package that reduces the number of needed write streams. It is not public yet, but you can ask him to let you test it: http://www.komascript.de/node/1349 |

We won't be fixing this until we reach the point where all internal limits will be removed |

all fixed in 0.66.0 |
