module with big static arrays

[dmitri_leonov]

Dear developers,

I'm using ifort (fce) version 10.0.017 for Mac OS X on a Mac Pro. The code that I'm trying to compile includes a module with some static arrays. When the size of the arrays is increased beyond certain point I start getting this message at linking stage:

ld64-59.2 failed: rel32 out of range in _MAIN__ from elcirc5_01_02r.o

When I recompile the code with the -automatic option I get the 'Illegal instruction' error at runtime. Any Ideas would be appreciated.

Regards,
Dmitri Leonov.

It sounds as if your arrays are too big for the available address space. Even with 64-bit MacOS, static data is limited to 2GB and stack is even less. How large are these arrays in total?

If you used 64-bit Mac OS (on a Mac with an Intel Core 2 family processor), you could make the arrays ALLOCATABLE and then allocate them as large as you like.
