Error: branch out of range

[sanness]

HI,
my app work fine on emulator and under desktop, when I want to deploy on 58OO.

I got the message below:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:

{standard input}:29794: Error: branch out of range

in fact ,It works before i make some modification on icon

How big is your application? Check out http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...overlap-errors

Also, if you have large images or other large files in your resource files, it may be better to remove them and use DEPLOYMENT instead. Large files in a resource file increase the size of your application's "memory footprint" that much.

Hi again,
I delete all resource in my project.
my project consist of just one widget with many tabWidget and button

Any help please!!!!!!

See this thread: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...-build-in-GCCE

EDIT:
What modifications to icon!?
--
This should go away if building for ARM (see thread danhicksbyron linked). You say you only have a small application?
BL out of range is not a feature of small app and if indeed is a small application it should be considered error in the compiler.
What version of GCCE you use ?

Can you do

fromelf -z <object_file_where_error_comes_from>

I suppose the object file is main.o since you talk about small project.
To find out what is the largest relocation segment use:

fromelf -r <object_file_where_error_comes_from>

And search for Size and give us the maximum you found.

You can find the object files from epoc32\build\<project><target><release_target><release_mode> , happy browsing
If you can't find anything interesting or extraordinary one place to look is data segments (fromelf -d).

Hi again,

i copy all the compile history for more details.
just another stupid question where to launch fromelf????

regards
Sana

How many lines of code is elmathbakh.cpp? Are you declaring any static variables in it?

[sanness]

Hi,
elmathbak.cpp contains 1280 lines ( 50 lines comments).

the is no static declaration !!!

can the .ui file has any impact on this or the related moc?????

[jakoskin]

fromelf is part of RVCT, sorry. GCCE equivalent is arm-none-symbianelf-objdump.exe which you can find in <GCCE>/bin.

This error is hard to debug without going to assembly level, so prepare with lots of coffee.
Use objdump to dissamble the code and paste the failing BL instruction. I want to see where it tries to jump.
Then you need to search for the label and that is why I wanted to see the relocation entries.

Also the code snippet after and before the modifications would be useful to see that you are not doing something that could cause this.

moc naturally has impact on .o size if included in the cpp. One thing to try is to split up the cpp file to 2 and see if the error goes away. This means bit of refactoring.

[danhicksbyron]

Since this doesn't happen with any frequency (in fact, first I've heard of it), I'm guessing there's a source bug or at least an "unusual construct" in the C++ source -- very possibly not a compiler bug at all, except that it's not diagnosing bad source when it should. The thing to do is to comment out portions of the code (it doesn't have to be executable, just "legal" to compile). Find out what area, when commented out, allows the module to compile. Then comment out less and less until the bug appears again. Likely this will point to something like a dodgy switch statement.

[jakoskin]

I agree with danhicksbyron here, this is most likely caused by conditional branching in switch case. Do you have large switch case, extra bonus if with goto statements?
Since you already know which lines create the error it should be easy to weed out the bad ones. You could satisfy my curiosity by posting them here too

[danhicksbyron]

[never mind]

[sanness]

Hi again,
thanks a lot guys
in fact i have a lot of switch case in my code.
I will go to commemt one by one.
when i find the bug i will go back to you jakoskin
cheers

Hi,
i finally find the source of error but i cann't understand the real pb:
i have the function below:

I call this 2 lines 200 times , at each time i change the ASCII code, the error is caused when arriving 200, 199 times error compile without error

item2 =QApplication::translate("ElmathbakhClass", "\330\263\330\261\330\257\331\212\331\206 \331\205\330\271\331\204\330\250\330\251", 0, QApplication::UnicodeUTF8);
insertData(item1,item2,201);
=======
void Elmathbakh::insertData(QString qsCat, QString qsElt, int iCal)
{
int iIndex=ui.m_cbCat->findText(qsCat);
if(iIndex==-1)
{
iIndex=ui.m_cbCat->count();
ui.m_cbCat->addItem(qsCat);
}
if(m_listVector.size()<=iIndex)
m_listVector.resize(iIndex+1);

m_listVector[iIndex]<<qsElt;
int iIndexElt=m_listVector[iIndex].size()-1;
m_DataCal.addDataCal(iIndex, iIndexElt, iCal);

}

typedef vector<QStringList> listVector;
DataCal m_DataCal; // typedef QMap<int,TypeMap*> CatMap;
listVector m_listVector;
====================
any explication for this pb?

[danhicksbyron]

What happens if you move the logic for that 200th time into a separate method and call it from the original method?

Or maybe declare new variable item2a and use that?
