5.12 no-fmemopen option (-m)

This is the "do not use in-mem streams" option.

This option has some usage constraints. It:

• must be compiled in by defining ENABLE_FMEMOPEN during the compilation.

If the local C library supports "fopencookie(3GNU)", or "funopen(3BSD)" then AutoGen prefers to use in-memory stream buffer opens instead of anonymous files. This may lead to problems if there is a shortage of virtual memory. If, for a particular application, you run out of memory, then specify this option. This is unlikely in a modern virtual memory environment.
