From: Michael Feldman Subject: Trying to comile VOGLE To: djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu (DJGPP List) Date: Tue, 25 Oct 1994 14:01:20 -0400 (EDT) ...on an 8-mb 386 with no coprocessor. The first compilation seems to have been stuck in a loop for nearly thirty minutes; the file is about 700 lines long, with lots of comments and whitespace. The go32 top line shows that the 3 "memory" numbers are as follows: the leftmost number cycles from ~300k to ~340k the middle number is frozen at 140k the right number is frozen at 16k Excuse the naivete; this is my first shot at building a C package with djgpp, though I have used GNAT/djgpp extensively without such problems. The rightmost memory number usually stays at around 4mb with GNAT; why is it down at 16k with the C compiler? Can someone advise? As I've been typing this note (on a different machine:-)), the first compilation finally finished, after something like 30 minutes, and moved on to the next one. I am conjecturng that it is simply swapping to the point of thrashing, but why? Nothing is changed in my config.sys - I seem to get plenty of memory with GNAT but thrashing with cc1.exe. What's up? BTW - where in all the docs is the translation of the values on the top line? There seems to be lots of useful info there. Thanks!
