what is the limit of GASPI_MAX_MSEGS

[intoraw]

The max number of segments can be created is #define GASPI_MAX_MSEGS (32) in file include/GASPI.h
I want to create thousands of segments, can i just modify #define GASPI_MAX_MSEGS (1024)
and what is the limit of GASPI_MAX_MSEGS can be defined ?

Thank you very much

@zorksylar in principle there's no real impediment for not having a larger GASPI_MAX_MSEGS and thus allow a higher number of segments. But there's a practical reason for such a "low" constant: the creation of a segment is an expensive operation. The idea is that one uses a few, possibly large, segments that are managed by the application.

That helped a lot, thank you.
