edit: problem seems to have been fixed. I was probably trying allocate more memory than I had on accident. This failed for obvious reason.

description below.

the code:

laplaceArray.setlength(mesh_.n_vertices(), mesh_.n_vertices());
alglib::real_2d_array areas;
areas.setlength(mesh_.n_vertices(), mesh_.n_vertices()); //this is the line that causes the error
alglib::real_2d_array weights;
weights.setlength(mesh_.n_vertices(), mesh_.n_vertices());

The problem is a bit odd. If I comment out the line "laplaceArray.setlength(mesh_.n_vertices(), mesh_.n_vertices());", it doesn't crash at "areas.setlength(mesh_.n_vertices(), mesh_.n_vertices());" anymore, but at "weights.setlength(mesh_.n_vertices(), mesh_.n_vertices());"

the size of the matrix is currently about 34800*34800 (just checked: is this by any chance 5 gigabytes? that would explain the problem (only have 4 gigabytes of ram -.-)

edit: i'm using microsoft visual studio 2010 express.

edit2: the lines from ap.cpp
if( !ae_matrix_set_length(p_mat, rows, cols, NULL) )
throw alglib::ap_error("ALGLIB: malloc error"); <- error being thrown.
