Here's a genuine RSTS post for the newsgroup; it's been a long time since
we've had a substantive post. I'm cross-posting because I have no idea how
many people still check comp.os.rsts. I'm still doing development work in
RSTS (v10.1), maintaining an old system that we haven't converted (running
on Ersatz-11, not genuine PDP-11 iron). All development is done in
Basic-Plus-2 (v2.7-A). I have a very large program which should still be
within the 32KW limit, but twice this week the compiler has given me "???
Internal Space Exhausted in CDGEN at line 19400 statement 10." That
statement happens to be almost the very end of the program; all that follows
is 19900 On Error goto 0, and then 32767 End.
The error popped up after adding a very small amount of code. The first time
I was able to make it go away by deleting some comments, so I thought the
problem was related to the physical size of the source code file (277
blocks). Now I'm getting the error again, though it's "only" 254 blocks,
well below what it was before the past week's changes, when I had no
problems compiling.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be going on, and a workaround?
