Myself and someone else have deduced that my game takes up too much memory to compile...any clues as to how I might go about reducing the memory my game takes up? I've tried changing some of my int variables into short ints, but then I get the "conversion may loose signifcant digits" crap...any other possibilities? Thanks alot.
How much memory your program uses should not make any difference when it compiles, only when it runs.
The average windows computer should have over 500megs of swap space, and if your program uses more than that, then you better take another look at your code.
And if your exe gets larger than a meg, you might want to break it into several dll's.
I was thinking the same thing...I wouldn't think my POS game could take up that much memory. Its 13,000 lines of code, but there aren't any graphics (its all text-based, DOS app)...so I have no clue whats going on. But thanks.
Heres the error.
Can anyone help at all?????
Exceeded memory limit for block Line number cache in module the warrior chronicles31.cpp
Its very strange.

check it out
yeah thats the error there..lol, if anyone has ANY clue, i would appreicate it..ive spent a while sepereating it up into different headers but i get the exact same error.
thanks again
What compiler is it, and whats the error code number?
Ill try to look it up.
"And if your exe gets larger than a meg, you might want to break it into several dll's." well i could be wrong, but id say 1meg is OK, i mean, look at a lot of games, theyre main exe is like 8 megs or so....but its true, you will have better performance teh smaller your exe is
How large is the executable itself?
Depending on compiler options, you can create a LOT of temp files that are huge, but still have a small program. This happens especially with precompiled headers -- I've gotten my precompiled header files up to over 64 MB for a 700 KB program.
Is the problem that you can't compile because of memory concerns?
Well I'm using Borland 5.02. Its a fatal error and it dosen't give me the error number.
The .exe size is 591k and the .cpp and the header file combine to 826k. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot
