[Spice_discussion] BADSUBSCRIPT error and the size of voxlst matrix in the alpha_dsk subsystem

[Naru Hirata]

Dear SPICE folks,

I'm writing a tool with alpha_dsk subsystem, and meet an error that cannot control 
by erract_c().

Occasionally, I meet SPICE(NOTINGRID) errors during geometry calculations. I intend to skip
the error with the RETURN action of erract_c(), and it seems to work.

However, another error SPICE(BADSUBSCRIPT) immediately follows, and then my tool is aborted.

Here is the error message I get.

In dskx02.c, a matrix voxlst[150000] is defined. Is it possible to expand the size of this 
matrix? Is there any items to be care together with the matrix voxlst?

Additional info: the SPICE(NOTINGRID) error was common when I used the SPICE platelib, it 
could skip with the RETURN action of erract_c(). My tool is migrated from the platelib 
to the alpha_dsk subsystem.

Sincerely,
Naru
