Re: Which documentation tool (DelphiDoc or Doc-o-Matic)

Hi,

I start by selecting a new project and then I import the source-files (under Project options). There is about 1300 files. It takes about 3-4 minutes and consumes around 160 MB.

That sounds a little long, it really depends on many things, though. Impossible to tell why from the distance.

Now I select Delphi 5-7 (Windows Help / RTF) and I press Build. Building project Documentation takes about 5 mins. and memory consumption increases to about 500 MB.

Building configuration takes about 3 mins. and memory consumtion is steady around 500 MB.

That doesn't sound unusual.

Generating documentation for 61181 items takes an additional 2-3 mins taking the build time is reported to be 9 mins. Now memory drops to about 200 MB.

Finally HCRFT starts running and ends by throwing an exception that there is not enough memory available.

Unfortunately, HCRTF is are real disaster and there is nothing we can do about that. You can try splitting the project in half and have Doc-O-Matic interlink them using each other's project database.
