[comp.sys.mac.misc] Arrrgggggg.... more THINK C limitations

jtn@potomac.ads.com (John T. Nelson) (07/10/90)

This is getting tiresome...

Now I'm getting an error from THINK C that says "debug table
overflow."  Pretty clear what's going on here... the debugger symbol
table has overflowed.  Now we look in the THINK C manual to find out
how to expand the size of the debugger table and it says...

"You overflowed the debugger table... consider using precompiled
headers."  Oh great, I'm trying to compile and link code that has been
generated by a preprocessor (.vis. Flex and Bison) which rearranges
the order of the include files and inserts code in front of the
precompiled header include.  When you compile files like this, THINK C
complains because the precompiled headers wasn't the very first thing
in the file.

GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRR.....

THINK C is a good package but I'm turning up just too many wierd and
limited things.  NEVER EVER make assumptions concerning the size of
projects/files/symbol tables/data segments etc.
