Compiler customization

Purpose

Specifies an appropriate initial size, in bytes, for the aliasing table. This option has effect only when optimization is enabled.

Note: This is a deprecated option. It is still accepted, but it has no effect.

@PROCESS:

@PROCESS ALIAS_SIZE(size)

Defaults

None.

Parameters

size
The initial size of the alias table, in bytes.

Usage

Compiling very large programs with optimization can cause aliasing tables to get very large, which may result in memory fragmentation. Use this option only when the compiler issues an error message with a suggested value for size. Specifying this option in other situations, or with values not recommended by the compiler, may cause the compiler to run out of memory.
