The bottom line is this: you need to allocate enough memory to contain the data you are reading. In this case, the memory is the C variable Vec and it needs to be large enough to hold all of the data you are reading. If it less then you will probably get some kind of memory error or segfault or something. If you do not have room to allocate all the needed memory, then you will need to read in the variable in pieces. > I set nf=2000 and tried but it didn't work. Also segmentation fault. > ..ÂEven when I set count vector {40, 3000, 3}, segmentation error occured. > But When I tried {1, 3000, 3}, It worked.
