Eli,
thanks for the reply. Sorry that I've mis-lead you when I said that it
took over 1 hour to compile I intended only to indicate that it was a
big job. That is 50 .cpp files in 460Kbytes plus well over 50 headers.
I did not measure the total No of lines as I have no complaints with
compile time. Now that I have dj201 the linker does Hello world quite
fast too.
The linker not being able to do the job is what I'd like to focus on.
Go32-V2 reported
RAM 17747K and Swap space 3901K
I went into rhide and shelled to dos
RAM 16115K and Swap space 93K
I repeated the test several times and always had lots of RAM but Swap
space was down to zero a couple of times. Of interest rhide seems to
hold all the sources in memory. However closing these files from the
rhide window and doing a simple link from rhide did not help the Memory
Exhausted situation.
Binutils from info is version v2.8.1 and ar.exe is dated 2-16-97.
Hope you can help me, Regards Ian.
