Hello,
suppose having the following sample code:
----
\starttext
  \startluacode
    context.startMPcode()
      for i = 1,
              -- 1000 -- OK
              1e6
              do
        context("draw (0,0) -- (5cm,5cm);")
      end
    context.stopMPcode()
  \stopluacode
\stoptext
----
I'm getting "TeX capacity exceeded" error.
Where is that "Like" button? ;)

PS: Weird enough, the code works for me on 64-bit LuaTeX under Mac OS
X (if I enter 1000000, I didn't try if 1e6 works already and I don't
have enough physical memory to try with 10^7). It surely exhausts all
the available memory (it goes beyond 1.5 GB), but it finishes the job
without errors. It's probably a different problem at your end, but I
nevertheless ask - do you have enough free memory (RAM)?
OK, thanks for testing.

Works well for me, too, on another computer with more RAM (3 GB, 32b; failed on 32b with 1 GB RAM).

Best regards,

Lukas
