CVF warning LNK4084: total image size 355000320 exceeds max (268435456)

hi,all

when I compile a code with CVF6, it gives warning:

warning LNK4084: total image size 355000320 exceeds max (268435456);
image may not run

what is 'image' means? and why it is limited under 256M?  does it arise
from CVF or computer haradware or somthing else ?

thanks

Basically, it's harmless, but see these Intel Forum threads:

Thanks, I have read those posts. I have got the answer.

Image is the compiled program.  A strange name, but
that is what it is.

Strange - why? It is an image of the memory at the time the program was
linked. See, for instance, the VMS documentation (available on the web)
where this is standard usage and has been so for more than 25 years...

Well, one some systems it is.   Under TOPS-10 such files could be
made by loading the program into memory, and then doing a SAVE
command.   It really is an image of memory.

On other systems such files have much more structure than
a memory image, possibly containing relocation information
and external symbol information interleaved with program text.

Maybe less obvious is the use of the word "text" to describe
executable code.   This seems to be common on some IBM systems,
CMS object files have the TEXT file type, and object libraries
are TXTLIB.

If you are not a native english speaker, though, you might
find it a little strange.

Containing, yes - a VMS image file certainly does. Interleaved?
Never seen that, and seems an unnecessary complication.
