[Bug c/38358] New: Could not compile gcc using large include files

[ahjiefreak at yahoo dot com]

I am trying to compile a typical c file with include option turned on. The
include option includes .h file as part of the array element declaration for
the c file.

When I did compile:-

gcc c.c -include myfile.h -D STS
In file included from /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h:0,
 from /usr/include/features.h:33,
 from /usr/include/stdio.h:9,
 from c.c:19:
/usr/include/bits/wordsize.h:1: internal compiler error: Aborted
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> for instructions.

I have checked the c.c:19 and they are commentation without any code before and
after that line. My exact code only starts at line 40. I included the same .h
file but with smaller size of .h file. It works perfectly and compilable.This
file size is around 1-2MB. But the previous .h file which gives the above error
has 1GB of file size.

Is this a bug or do i need to specify any extra options to handle this special
case?


Please advise.


Thanks.

Yes. I am using Debian and I could not find any suitable class to lodge a bug
report under RedHat bugzilla. I figured it out that this is the closest match.

Hi,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Is there any suggestion or workaround in this case in order for gcc to compile
it successfully?

I would have think its not wise to attach quite a big file over the email.

Please advise. Thanks.
