Some people say that link editor limitations don't imply Ada limitations, ap
plying the principle "you must write small sources, and they produce only small
link segments".
THAT'S FALSE !
Maybe my use of genericity is not elementary, but it's Ada spirit. I got rec
ently a 100Kbyte link segment (link edition failed) with only :
- a unit of about 120 lines (a two-level block with exception handlers, and on
ly one statement at each node)
- two units of about 120/80 lines (10/5 procedures, 10/5 couples of instanciat
ions, a sequence of 10/5 calls)
- a final library instanciation
There is no reason why good styled small Ada units couldn't lead to a unique
link segment of millions of bytes.
PLEASE GIVE US UNLIMITED LINK EDITORS
