Question:

When I compile my program, I get a fatal error message "C1064 : too
many _text segments". What is wrong?

Response:

This error is caused by using the alloc_text pragma to define more
than 10 distinct _text segments in a single "compilation unit". The
following code reproduces the error message:

Sample Code
-----------

/*******************************/
/* Define _text segments here. */
/*******************************/

#pragma alloc_text(foo_1,foofunct_1)
#pragma alloc_text(foo_2,foofunct_2)
    .
    .
    .
#pragma alloc_text(foo_11,foofunct_11)

/*******************************/
/* Define Prototypes           */
/*******************************/

void main(void);
void foofunct_1(void);
void foofunct_2(void);
    .
    .
    .
void foofunct_11(void);

/********************/
/* Define functions */
/********************/

void main(void)
{
   printf("Here we go. Eleven alloc_text pragmas: \n");
}

void foofunct_1(void)
{
}
void foofunct_2(void)
{
}
    .
    .
    .
void foofunct_11(void)
{
}

See the "Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler: User's Guide" Version 5.1
manual. The alloc_test pragma is detailed on Page 159. The error
message (C1064) is documented in the "Microsoft C for MS-DOS and OS/2
Operating Systems: Version 5.1 Update" on Page 59.
