Can someone please explain why a slightly too complex expression can
cause the large model pass of the SCO Xenix 2.1.4g compiler to generate
a compiler "infinite spill" error? What *exactly* does that mean?
Basically, expressions like
structptr->elt_struct.struct_item = int + str->elt.str;
will cause the infinite spill error, and this can be corrected by:
junkvar = str->elt.str;
structptr->elt_struct.struct_item = int + junkvar;
So, WHAT IS IT?
Thanks-
