(original) (raw)

rL349357 - we manually add /bigobj quite a bit to fix this sort of thing. Although I don't think anyone ever goes around to check if any entries can ever be removed again...

Hi,

Recently one Windows build bot failed by my commit, because the obj file being generated is too big:

C:\\ps4-buildslave2\\llvm-clang-x86\_64-expensive-checks-win\\llvm\\tools\\clang\\unittests\\AST\\ASTImporterTest.cpp : fatal error C1128: number of sections exceeded object file format limit: compile with /bigobj

Is there an LLVM policy to limit the maximum size of the generated obj files?

If not then I suspect the only solution is to turn on /bigobj on the build bot, right?

(Of course, I could refactor the cpp file to several smaller ones, but how do I know where to cut it?)

Thanks,

Gabor
