:-( Then, it doesn’t work.
I’d report the as bug. Also, you might try binary searching for the limit.
Hopefully 16M works just fine. If it doesn’t, then someone broke it recently.
I tested a simple program on my machine and got it up to 31M for gcc and 512M
for clang. gcc died as 32M. clang, well, I grew impatient waiting for the
compile times. 512M should bee good for the next 100 years I suspect. 31M is
likely fine for the next 2 decades, though, that bug should be fixed.
gcc died like this for me:
gcc: internal compiler error: Illegal instruction: 4 (program cc1)
:-(
$ cat t.c
#include <stdio.h>
/* gcc works to 31, fails as 32, clang goes beyond 512 */
#define M 32*1024*1024
char buf[M+1];
int main() {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < M; ++i)
buf[i] = '0';
printf ("#include <stdio.h>\n\
\n\
int i%s;\n\
\n\
int main() {\n\
++i%s;\n\
return 0;\n\
}\n\
", buf, buf);
return 0;
}
