file size

hi
i am using qnx 4.25, photon 1.13 and watcom compiler.

is their any limitation on the size of executable in qnx?
is ther any contraint from watcom compiler side on the size of the project /
executable it can compile?

thanks

I don’t know but I’ll guess for starters, Available physical memory.

Watcom gets a little fussy expanding inline functions in C++. Other than
that, there are limits but there fairly high. Adding debugging to compiles
tends to require a lot more memory to generate the object files.

I’m sorry. No I can’t. I’ve never hit them. I know that other people have
and have written about them in this conference or in devtools.

Personally, I don’t think that any one module should ever be all that large.
I try to break things up into smaller modules. The resulting link module
can be “almost” as big as you want.
