obj getting bigger

Post by TKrauss »

Hi,

In our project there is always after few compiles and links the "fatal error: out of memory".
Now I noticed that if obj are recompiled with Twine Compile they are bigger than before...

The only thing that I can do is, to kill the processes "mtbcc32compilerexecutor" after each compilation. Then the obj files stay at their sizes on recompilation!

That is very interesting. bcc must be caching some internal state that keeps on being added to the obj files as they're compiled. Is this XE3?

I'll have to see if I can reproduce it, and if not, and I know this will be hard, could you come up with a test case for this issue? Most likely, there's a cpp file that you're compiling that is causing bcc32 to act this way.

I was not able to reproduce this issue. Would there be any chance of your putting together a test case?
