Limits of Operation

Program size

The compiler limits code and data to 4 Gigabytes or available memory (including virtual memory), whichever is smaller. Because this limit is larger than operating systems allow, program size is effectively limited by the operating system, not the compiler.

Number of files open concurrently

Not limited by LF95 language system.

Array size

The compiler calculates T for each array declaration to reduce the number of calculations needed for array sections or array element addresses. The absolute value of T obtained by the formula below must not exceed 2147483647, and the absolute value must not exceed 2147483647 for any intermediate calculations:
