Warning memory alert not only is a papercut but a real feature request
Blender should warn you before you go beyond your memory limits. Somewhat like "Hey man, performing this operation more can lead you beyond your system limits"... ;]] Even if you are not a new user, a lot of "bug reports" refer to crashes on huge files. BEFORE you go ahead losing all your hard works, a stopping message should PREVENT you to do so, and a production software like Blender should help you to do safe.
Not a simple papercut imho, but a real NEED for professional use. \Sorry for the title change meanwhile...^ Won't you agree ?

Blender dont calculate your hardware potential, also it cant predict which parameters make your device unresponsive. btw, you can recover your session. also download "Powersave" addon which automatically save the work in 1-2 minute interval and also open the last saved file automatically if crash occurs. Also change the tittle if you want the feature request.
* @mrajendra2150 * You shoudnt have to pay for it even 1 dollar by principle...Or even have to save a ton of gigabytes of the same project every 5 minutes of work; arent you ....
* @mrajendra2150 * Thank you explaining that blender does not predict the memory that will be used; but it knows however the amount of RAM used now. If I set -in my blender preferences- that 90 percent of my RAM should be used and not more, Blender should be able to alert me if I try to use a subdivision or any modifier that adds more geometry to my project when I reach this amount. (before i should use all kind of modifier or sculpting tool)
Hello, I think it has already been proposed, but anyway, you should find a more explicit title ;)
* @moonboots * thanks; i missed this by accident.
