Well MPW now allows more than 32K in the global data area, YEAH!!!!!!
{Thats the step forward}
Now for the two back, why does the MPW C compiler complain about structs
that are > 32K. I have some code that compiled under MPW C 2.0 because I
was allocating the struct on the heap {which I didn't think was all that
difficult to do}. But now that code doesn't compile because the C
compiler complains about too big of a structure. :-(
I think it's wonderful that they took care of the 32K global problem, but
given a choice between 32K of global data and > 32K structures I think
the structures are more important.
{Oh great, now we've taken care of the 32K global problem this guy wants
bigger data structures, sheez we just can't win, lets give up and work for
someone else.
--- Possible quote by apple people reading this :-) }
Not a major complaint and I really hate to sound like a complainer, but
is there any way to get MPW C 3.0 to compile a bigger struct???
Thanks

I understand that the MPW 3.0 C compiler is a completely different product than
the old 2.0 compiler. I wonder if Green Hills will be selling the "original"
MPW C on their own. Sort of like the MDS assembler.
