You mean a procedure with out parameter instead of function? Is there
such utility?

It's an hypertext. It starts out sparse, but then gets less sparse
with the usage because it is an adaptive hypertext system and I am
using spreading activation to create new links. Probably it will never
be very dense, but new links may appear anywhere in the matrix. And
it's only a prototype for a thesis, and the focus is on the
theoretical model not the implementation, so I was prepared to spend a
few megas of my giga ram to use the standard library if only the
compiler let me do it...

I found switches -fstack-usage and -fcallgraph-ifo (gcc) in the GNAT
manual but Gnatmake does not seem to accept this.

I also found that GNAT is calling a BLAS or LAPACK function called
"gemv" to implement matrix-vector "*" and so my diagnostics of
overflow caused by (value?) passing on the stack is probably right.

So now I want to increase the stack size. To 200M. The right Gnatmake
switch, please...
