I am trying to compile a source, but I get the error "Blocks nested too deeply". I would swear, though, that the nest level of the if block does not exceed six or seven. How to fix this?

Based on that error message, the most likely way to fix it is to re-think your design. But we can only guess if you don't show us any code.

Heheh. That said, that many loops in a single function is likely to be very poor programming practice as well.Originally Posted by MK27

Thats crazy !!!!!!!!
I cant imagine a program with 250 nested loops ..... (one inside another one inside another)
vril: How many levels of nested loops do you have?

It says "unnested loops" -- ie, if you have for (i=0;i<10;i++); 250 times in one function, you will get the erroneous error.
Kind of agree with laserlight that that borders on obscene anyway.

Thanks MK27 for correcting me out. I was really stumbled on how could anyone fathom 250 levels of nesting and still understand what is going on.
I have been reading a little about compiler internals over the summer and that is pretty much how I feel about that (although as far as I have observed, even in large and complex sources, the individual functions are never very long).

Hi , Can you post the code which was generating this error?
The code is chaotic and I claimed nowhere that it belongs to me. I am informed about the 250 limit, which cannot but surprise me, since the nest level is not more than 6-7 inlaid blocks.
Even old Turbo C ver. 1.01 for DOS (16 bits only) can next 81 levels deep, if you spread it across 8 or 9 functions.
What compiler are you using? Does any of the blocks call other blocks/functions, recursively?
Six or 7 levels deep doesn't seem right, but there are a few compilers that are mostly jokes out there.
