I have a 200MB source in c that cannot be devided into smaller parts.
When i compile it with gcc it with gcc it says : "virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory"
How can i do to resolve this problem.
Please answer me as soon as you can.

How much memory do you have? How much swap?

Sorry, there is NO WAY that a 200 meg source file can't be divided up (AKA modularized). Even generated code never gets that big. Step back and refactor.

I would hope that the 200Mb source is multiple files. If not... wow! ...please break it up into more reasonable fils sizes.

Is any of this source actually data (200Mb of source code is impressive! or is that frightening?) If you do have some data then take it out and get the program to read it in when it runs rather than trying to embed it at compile time.

And as previously asked just how much memory does you machine have at the moment?
