[comp.sys.mac.programmer] MPW: Jumptable *not* out of range?

b_murphy@vaxa.cc.uwa.oz.au (09/04/90)

I'm creating a program in MPW Pascal. When I recompile just part of the 
program and attempt to link it, the linker *sometimes* complains. It comes 
up with the good'ol faithfull Error 50 (Jumptable out of range.) 
(v3.1 actually tells you that it shouldn't be greater than 32K, but since 
we've all RTFM this is old news.;-)

However, my program segments are not greater than 32K. If I recompile 
the WHOLE program and link it, no problem. Now don't turn around to 
tell me that a pre-compiled object should not make any difference, I know.

Is this a _feature_ of MPW?  BTW, I've lately put up my MPW Multi-Finder 
memory up from 2 to 4Mb (I've got 8Mb on an SE/30) and it doesn't 
happen anymore, but it would be nice to now where it came from.

A couple of people have also suggested to do a FLUSH in the make before 
the Link, or re-boot my Mac. (Talk about a  l o n g  work around.)
