E2201 Too much global data defined in file (C++)

Go Up to Compiler Errors And Warnings (C++) Index

The sum of the global data declarations exceeds 64K bytes. This includes any data stored in the DGROUP (all global variables, literal strings, and static locals).

Solutions

Check the declarations for any array that might be too large. You can also remove variables from the DGROUP.

Here's how:

• Declare the variables as automatic. This uses stack space.
• Dynamically allocate memory from the heap using calloc, malloc, or farmalloc for the variables. This requires the use of pointers.

Literal strings are also put in the DGROUP. Get the file farstr.zip from our BBS to extract literal strings into their own segment.
