   - Microsoft Visual C++, Macintosh Cross-Development Addon, versions 2.0, 4.0

SUMMARY
=======

The Global Threshold (/Gt<value>) option moves data items of the specified
size or greater out of the default data segment. The default value for the /Gt
option is 5, so if the /Gt is not specified or is specified without a value, it
is as if the option /Gt5 is used.

Specify other values for /Gt from Visual Workbench by selecting the Project menu,
choosing Settings, choosing the C/C++ tab, selecting Code Generation from the
Category list box, and using the edit field Global Threshold.
