- I was trying to port the GNU version of SED (1.12) with my Lattice compiler
- (don't ask me why - I thought it would be a learning experience). I came
- across the following error:
- "Line buffer overflow"
-
- Upon looking at the code I saw that the culprit was a huge macro - several
- lines of code run together with line continuation characters (\\). I thought
- that I just needed to tweek some buffer size, so I tried the -z option of the
- "lc" command. My documentation does not describe this option very well, so I
- assumed that the number following the -z should be decimal, representing the
- buffer size. This seemed to go further in the code before crashing, but I got
- the same error. After I increased the size above 4096, the LC command crashes
- my computer. Even with a stack size of 100000 it still crashes.
-
- Any ideas? Thanks in advance...
