All,

I am a newbie who is trying out the serialization library. In that article, there is a demo program (demo.cpp) that i am trying to build. Along with several warnings ('dynamic_cast' used on polymorphic type...), the compiler is generating the following error:

fatal error C1076: compiler limit : internal heap limit reached; use /Zm to specify a higher limit

I have tried various values for /Zm (200 is recomended) and either i still receive this error, or if increase the value too much, the compiler generates the following error:

fatal error C1204: compiler limit : internal structure overflow

You can use values for /Zm as high as 800 or 1200. Have you topped at 200 only? Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

Since this seesaw response doesn't seem correct, i am wondering if there is a particular flag or combination thereof that would correct this problem?

Thank you.

Thank you to all who responded! To answer some questions: Arkadiy Vertleyb: In the recesses of mind i did know that one point :). My thoughts at the time of the original post were that if i could not get "demo" program to build, using this library in a large system (using VC6) might be an excercise in futility. Joaquin M Lopez Munoz: I did increase the value of /Zm. At around /Zm400, the compiler generated the following message: fatal error C1204: compiler limit : internal structure overflow For grins i took it up to /Zm1000, with no change (i was not expecting one). Robert Ramey: So, i'm not crazy! One less thing to worry about :). Unfortunately, VC6 is what the client has on site and VC 7.1 just is not in the cards right now. So, it's back to a light weight serialization scheme until they can bring in a new compiler.
