Hi,
I’m trying to link a large object on QRTP, but ld keeps running out of
memory. System info:
Pentium I 166Mhz, 48M RAM, 128M .swapfile, running Neutrino.
I tried adding option --no-keep-memory to ld, but that doesn’t help. Nor
does going back to text mode to free up as much as possible. Is there
any other parameter I can adjust?
BTW, while ld is running, I don’t see any change in the swap info
(checked with /sbin/swapctl). Does this mean ld isn’t subject to paging?
TIA,
rick

ld will use paging, but it’s memory usage patterns probably preclude it.
No doubt it’s doing a large malloc, which cannot be satisfied (even with
the swapper on ) unless you actually have that amount of memory in the
system.
48Meg ouch, you are asking for trouble. 64M is minium
and for large project if you don’t have 128M the gcc
will just crawl.
