Precedence: bulk

: It's very worrying that so many people seem to have trouble compiling
: this file! It is very large (a macro that expands into 256 versions of a
: color blending routine, one for each alpha value, and is used three
: times for the different color depths), but it isn't _so_ big that I
: would expect it to cause problems, and the individual functions are all
: quite small. I have a nasty feeling that I might have to split this
: across several files, unless you can find a reliable way to make it
: build...

: Do you know which phase of the compile is causing the crash? Add -v to
: the gcc options, and see if it gets through the preprocessor to the
: actual compiler: that will at least tell me whether it is the size of
: the code or the size of the macro that is at fault...

Scary thing is, it compiled *while shelled out from Terminate* on my
486DX2/66 w/8MB RAM...  :)
