huge array 1

[elfanddot]

any help is appreciated!

i tried an array like UINT a[800][600] in a structure
and got a structure to big;
i tried UINT huge a[800][600] and the same result
attempt was made on borlandc v3.1
also, i noticed that when not in a structure or class that the huge definer works.

Borland 3.1 was a DOS compiler. DOS' arrays are limited to the amount of free memory in the 640K lower memory block.

visual c++ and one day maybe djgpp(but not yet)
also have parts of borlandc 5.. but not setup yet
(kindof like 3.1)
so i should try something with expanded memory?

i don't really like visual c for dos, probably because the code was written for windows.

there is an image size option in bc3.1 and i did try to set it to huge,large,medium ... no result.

there is also an option for optimization ( size vs. speed )

If you are compiling for DOS, you are out of luck. If you compile for a Windows console your limitation will be the total amount of free memory. Look at compiler options for Windows vs. DOS (or 32 bit vs 16 bit).

Why not just use a linked list?

I've never used a linked list and therefor i will try.
Thank you
