Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Syntax:  /Gpnumber
 
     With the /Gp compiler option, you can specify the maximum number
     of entry tables for your program. The space between /GP and
     <number> is optional. Like the other options for fine-tuning
     p-code discussed in this section, the /Gp option must be used in
     conjunction with the /Oq option.
 
     An entry table is needed for every segment that contains a p-code
     function or a function called by a p-code function. One entry
     table can describe up to 256 such functions. If a segment contains
     more than that, the Make P-Code utility (MPC) creates additional
     entry tables.
 
     NOTE: The MPC utility is invoked automatically when you specify
           the /Oq option on the CL command line.
 
     Specify /Gp<number> when you compile your source file. When the
     MPC utility processes the resulting .EXE file, it creates up to
     <number> entry tables. MPC returns an error if the program needs
     more than <number> entry tables.
 
     If you do not specify the /Gp option, <number> is assigned the
     default value of 255. In addition to the space that the actual
     entry tables take up, there is a four-byte overhead for each
     possible entry table.
