[antlr-interest] Memory management of C target

Dear all

Does anyone know how the C target handles memory? I noticed that with 
very big input (e.g. 530.000 lines of C code) it crashes because it hits 
the 2gb process memory limit. Is there something I can tweak to make it 
work or do I have to split the input?

The Java target manages to parse the input if I give the process 1gb. It 
even requires only 20 seconds.
Would be great if the C target could also do that. Even better it the 
required time would be about half of the one of the Java target (as I'm 
used to when the C target can handle the input).

Thanks
Marco
