[comp.sys.att] 3b2 CFP+ "Switch table overflow"...

garrett@udel.EDU (Joel Garrett) (01/29/88)

I am using a 3b2/400 running SysV, Rel 3.0 with version 1.0 of the CFP+
compiler.

While trying to compile Pat Monardo's Common TeX, the makefile bombed out
when it got to eval.c, which has a very BIG switch statement.  After going
a good piece into the switch, the compiler craps out with something to the
effect of a "Switch table overflow."  Is there some way to get around this?
Maybe there is a command line parameter to make for a bigger switch table
for the compiler, or something like that?  I guess I could try re-coding the
big switch into a several smaller groups of switches, but I get kind of nervous
diddling around in someone else's code, especially when it's this big :-)
Maybe there's a newer release of the CFP+ compiler?  Please respond directly
to me via email and I'll post answers to the net if there is enough interest.
