Hi, While working on a Mozilla task related to debugging information, I ran into a problem triggered by the fact that sqlite3.c was > 32k lines. It turns out that the "stabs" debugging format uses a short integer to store source line numbers. We fixed the issue by using an unsigned short, but I noticed that sqlite3.c was dangerously close to 64k lines, which would overflow the line number quantity. I know that stabs is an outdated debugging format, but we use it because our tools don't currently have DWARF support.
I was wondering if it's possible to strip comment blocks from source files when generating sqlite3.c? It seems that since it's a generated file anyway, the comments shouldn't be terribly important. I ran a quick test on the sqlite-3.4.0 sources, and I got: wc -l sqlite3*.c 67479 sqlite3.c 49585 sqlite3-trimmed.c I realize this is a very specific problem, but it might help me out in the future. :) Regards, -Ted ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
