[comp.unix] Compiler Errors and Convergents

ctrown@ecst.csuchico.edu (Chris Trown) (12/27/90)

of UNIX.  I have been happily hacking at this thing for a while porting various
pieces of software, when I got stopped cold by an annoying error message:

  "file_name.c", line 1380: compiler error: allocation fails, op STAR
  *** Error Code 1

     Now, the documentation says nothing about this type of error.  I suspect
that the problem is in the size of the symbol table.  The documentation does not
say how to increase the size of the table, if it can be done at all.  The
command that creates this problem is:

  cc -DSYS5 -c file_name.c

     If the problem IS with the Symbol Table, and there is no way to increase
it's size, hacking the original source into smaller chunks should bypass the 
problem, correct?

     Hopefully, somebody at Convergent will hear my pleas and provide some 
solace...

					Thanks...
