[comp.sys.amiga] BUG in AZTEC c version 3.4a

msl5864@ritcv.UUCP (Michael S. Leibow) (03/18/88)

Hi,

I am writing a program that uses rather large structures.  I had changed
some constants which made some 12K byte arrays in the structure.  The size
of the structure grew to be greater than 32K.

Aztec C always used the address register indirect with displacement addressing
mode.  The displacement field in the opcode is only 16 bits which allows for
a -32K or +32K displacement.  A different addressing mode should be used when
the structure is greater then 32K.
