Thread: Linker error _text exceeds 64K

Linker error _text exceeds 64K.I must do it . I do everting but not result. I make large project.I to try to split in section but still error(Linker error _text exceeds 64K) any body help me,please.I sent project to teacher

What sort of compiler are you using?

What compiler are you using?

Also, what platform are you working on?

One handy little trick is to take that error, paste it into the search box on Google and see what you find.....

i use turbo c++ 3.0

I try post error in google but read unknowable

Probably means that all the code is in the same .c file, and now it's time to split that file up into several modules (each of which will get their own 64K).

But even when you've done that, you also need to tell the compiler to use say "large" model code.

I must sent teacher,Uhhhhh unnn ,i want to cry.uhhh

I already TELL compiler large model but still not result.hmmmmmmmm.ummmmmmmm,I want to cry!

That's only half the job - you also need multiple source files. The compiler will put each source file into a separate 64K section, but if you only have ONE source file, then you haven't actually done much.

Example, this is what you have

Code:

// main.c
#include <stdio.h>
void someFunc ( int param ) {
  printf( "hello, someFunc called with %d\n", param );
}
int main ( ) {
  printf( "Hello from main\n" );
  someFunc ( 1234 );
  return 0;
}
// which would be compiled with
// cc main.c

Exactly how you call your compiler (probably not cc) is up to you.

But you want to get into this kind of situation here, two source files and a header file.

Code:

// func.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include "func.h"
void someFunc ( int param ) {
  printf( "hello, someFunc called with %d\n", param );
}

// func.h
#ifndef FUNC_H_INCLUDED
#define FUNC_H_INCLUDED
void someFunc ( int param );
#endif

// main.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include "func.h"
int main ( ) {
  printf( "Hello from main\n" );
  someFunc ( 1234 );
  return 0;
}
// which would be compiled with
// cc main.c func.c

Exactly how many func.c files you need is entirely up to you, but since you've probably just gone over the limit, and with no time left, I would suggest just two files.
Put half your functions in func.c, put all the prototypes for those functions in func.h and leave the rest in your main.c file.

thank you very much everybody . i make project finish.and it perfect too.
