I have been coding a text game for some time now and I have finally reached the point that my compiler gives the
error :c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\ostream(285) : fatal error C1076: compiler limit : internal heap limit reached; use /Zm to specify a higher limit
How do I get around this?
Maybe there is some data in the game that can be stored externally, ie, in data files. Otherwise you could do as they say, and increase the heap limit. By default I think it is set at large, which is /Zl. Probably you can specify extra large somehow. Read the compiler documentation for more info.

Actually I only have what the player needs to see In cout statements... All the rest is in txt files already =/.
/Zm will fix the probelm but when done the compiler will not accept the functions from the iostream header file. Ideas anyone?

How large are your cout statements? Post some code.
post code... its a 4500 line program currently and the couts are everywhere.... I don't mind sending the code out tho....
I think Eibro thinks what I'm thinking now. Do any cout statements display lines and lines of text? Splitting it up into separate statements could fix that.

Display lines and lines of text? I have couts that give some storyline for the play to follow... and also some which display their weapons ... if you want a copy of the cpp I will send it to yea... but warning its 4500 lines and a pain to read or even scan...
> but warning its 4500 lines and a pain to read<
Perhaps you should be looking at a different project then. Who cares about cout?

Ok then what do I use to output strings of data to a console ?
Read up on your /Zm compiler switch.
Teh answer is in the question, grasshopper.

most likely you need to "flush" the buffers more often, if you are using '\n' for the new line, replace them with 'endl'
each compiler gives you an option of allocating more memory on the heap when it is required, look up information on "malloc"
Warning: That falls under a category of "dynamic memory management" which isn't an easy topic, and it requires quite a bit of practice...
good luck

malloc probably isn't going to help if you're overflowing the CRT heaps. I'd ignore this.each compiler gives you an option of allocating more memory on the heap when it is required, look up information on "malloc"

Attach the code, I'll read it. I think mattheo is right, you may need to flush buffers more often, so that you're not sending huge strings to the output stream, that dont get deleted for ages.
