Honored Contributornios2-elf-gcc.exe is used for compiling the altia generated images and font files. File size is 64MB. An error is thrown while compiling as out of memory.
Is there is any limitaion of file size or size of arrays inside the file in gcc compiler. If there is any how to update them to have for bigger size. Thanks in advance.
Honored ContributorI don't believe gcc has any internal limits - other than available system memory.
If you are compiling a 64MB C source file you probably need a lot of memory/swap. I'm not sure if windows has per process memory limits (cf ulimit), but it might be that the windows swap/page file isn't big enough.Honored ContributorHow we can identify if it is windows issue.
Honored ContributorWatch the task manager ...
Does anything small compile? Some Cygwin issues might be reported as 'out of memory' when that isn't the real issue.Honored ContributorWe are able to compile the file of 41MB size. Now when we added some more fonts size increased to 64MB. This i am not able to compile.
Honored ContributorI would compile each font in a separate file.
But look at the windows page file use in the task managerHonored ContributorI have been compiling memory error but compile in another pc and it works.
Honored ContributorI would compare the windows memory settings of both PCs.
then also the parameter that are used to start the NIOS IDE.Honored ContributorI verified the PF usage in windows. while compiling the font file it reaches 2.5GB and then it gone down to 640mb and the copmilation stopped with
out of memory error. The PF limit is around 5GB(5297172).Honored ContributorThat looks like the gcc program image is exceeding the available user address space - 2GB on 32bit windows.
Depending of the exact contents of the font files, changing the compiler options (maybe turn off the optimiser if they are only data) might help. But you'll only hit the limit again later. I think you need to work out how to compile the fonts in small groups.Honored ContributorThank you dsl for the response. We tried splitting the font files generated from Altia.Now the compilation is successful. But we increased the font characters and the files splitted are coming to 20 files. When we tried to compile them i am getting another error.
