>Description:
when there is large static arrays in my program, GCC tends to generate crashing codes which will recieve SIGSEGV. when debugged, the crashing instruction is always refering to $esp, within the several lines after main(), suggesting stack and/or heap management error.
as we got the program from others and it is too much trouble to change arrays from static to dynamic, could you suggest me any alternative way to fix it?
the CC on sgi o2 workstation under irix 6.3 does not generate crashing codes when compiling the same program.
thanks,
Mannester GE
