I have just started getting this error. Seems to be some sort of limit on either the compiler or linker. I have checked the web site and it appears that this problem has been reported before but I can't find a resolution for it.

I have attached a simple Win32 Console App that encounters the error. This is based on the structs that I use in my code. I have a number of large structures that have a lot of elements.

The attached program should give the error, however, you comment out the line

  char f000001_comment_me_out;

and uncomment the line

  char f000001;

The error disappears.

Add 3 characters the the name f000001 (ie zzzf000001) and the error returns.

Change the size of 'pad' from 32700 to 32698 and the error disappears

Change the code back to the original; version and remove the comments from the 10 lines 'a000001-a0000010' and the error also disappears. Adding these seems to exceed whatever the previous limitation was.

I'm using Version 8.44

I have no problem here. I use a bit older compile (V8.40.4n)

You must link with Debug Information (Linker Option /CO)
