[fpc-devel] Program too long ?

[Mathias]

I've split the code, as you said.
With the factor 1000, it did not err in within about 75s compiled.
The source had it about 1,000,000 rows. rows.

program test;

procedure p0;
begin
   WriteLn(0);
   WriteLn(1);
   WriteLn(2);
end;

procedure p1;
begin
   WriteLn(2);
   WriteLn(3);
   WriteLn(4);
end;

procedure p2;
begin
   WriteLn(4);
   WriteLn(5);
   WriteLn(6);
end;

begin
   p0;
   p1;
   p2;
end.
