Hash Table Size {R}←8468⌶Y

Increases the amount of workspace allocated to internal hash tables. These tables are created when a set primitive is executed or by the Hash Array function (1500⌶).

Note

The purpose of this function is to allow the user to evaluate potential side-effects of the proposed increase in table size in the next major version of Dyalog.

Y may be ⍬, or an integer 0, 1, 2, or 3.

If Y is 1, 2 or 3 the hash table size is increased by the factor 2*Y. If Y is 0, the hash table size is reset to its default value. In these cases, the shy result R is the previous value of the scale factor.

If Y is ⍬ the size is unaffected and the (non-shy) result is the current value of the scale factor.

It is recommended that users test their code using the maximum value 3.
