Trying to convince a friend of mine to use DJGPP, I try to compile the
following, in essai.c :
#include <stdio.h>
unsigned char Tableau[1024L*1024L*16L];

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
printf("hello world\n");
return(0);
}

(In french "Tableau" means "array", and "essai" means "try")

It compiles fine, but does not link : I got the folowing :
e:/miko/trash/essai.o : could not read symbols : Bad value.

If I reduce the size of the array to 1024*1024*15, the linking is OK.
So my question : is there a maximum length for a static array ?
Curiously my computer has 16 M of memory : is there a connexion ?
