GNAT 95 Compiler v 2.09 for UNIX Solaris

[William Paul Berriss <W.P.Berriss@reading.ac.uk>]

Hi

If you know briefly how and why I get the following
compiler error message could you e-mail me to tell me!


The error message on Solaris 2.4 UNIX is:

stssrita% gcc -c huesatint_3dhistogram.adb
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/tmp/cca007J8.s", line 6091: error: constant value
must be between 
-0x00200000 and 0x003fffff
stssrita%


Basically, I have tried to create a 3D array of size 256 X 256 X 256
of Integers, and it complained.  If I purely alter its to size
64 X 64 X 64 then all is ok.  So it is purely a size problem.

I thought it may be due to the finite size of my RAM memory
(say 32 MBytes) but my supervisor said that the compiler
should not know about my RAM and that it would be a run-time error
perhaps?

Any ideas? Anyone had a similar problem?

Will
