## Memory issues during compilation

Some issues can be encountered during compilation on low RAM computers.
These issues are due to the high number of procedures generated by the preprocessor.
They can be avoided by limiting the maximum rank of generated procedures, as follows with `CMake`:

```sh
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_MAXIMUM_RANK=4

cmake --build build

cmake --build build --target test
```
or as follows with `make`:

```sh
make -f Makefile.manual FYPPFLAGS=-DMAXRANK=4
```
