Hi Matt, I can patch up something that would spit out an error message and exit rather than Segfaulting.
Right now there is no bounds check. Other thing I could do is re-allocate the Macro Array size when it gets full. So it would not fail until system starts swapping :-) I would prefer the second option. Because it might hinder your and other language development. This might become a bigger issue as you start writing bigger programs or libraries. Let me know your thoughts. -Vishal On Mon, 2006-07-10 at 22:11 -0700, Matt Diephouse wrote: > Vishal Soni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Matt, > > > > This patch is because the number of .constant decls in IMCC is limited > > to 4096.
