- I was trying to use emx 0.8e gcc. I my program, I need to have a
- lge static data sturcture in the beginning of main().
-
- The program compiled fine using gcc. ( as usual, it crash using
- Borlandc C++ 3.1 cause each element in my array is > 64k, and I
- have a thousand of them. )
-
- But when I tried to run it, it tried to claim all my disk space
- as swap file. Even I have 20 meg on my HD, it still tried to
- use it all and keeps on going until it crash OS/2 all.
-
- I've heard that it is a general gcc ( whether UNIX or OS/2 ) problem.
- And from the newsgroups, I was told that FSF is trying to fix
- this.
-
- Wondering whether anybody have this problem before and whether
- there is a way to fix this? I mean without changing the program
- at all. There is some other ways I can implement the data structure
- but I am curious to see how to fix that problem
-
- Thank you all in advance
