C251: VERSION 2 LINKER ACTS LIKE EVALUATION VERSION

Information in this article applies to:

• C251 Version 2.14

SYMPTOMS

Upgrading to the latest C251 tools from a Version 1.0 or 1.1 installation causes the following linker error:

*** FATAL ERROR L250: CODE SIZE LIMIT IN RESTRICTED VERSION EXCEEDED
MODULE: C:\PROJECTS\GENIE\APPDISK\CPU251.OBJ (------)
LIMIT: 03FFH BYTES

CAUSE

This error message is caused when the linker detects an object file that was compiled with either an evaluation version of the assembler or compiler or a really old version of the assembler or compiler.

RESOLUTION

Erase all .OBJ files in your project and re-assemble/re-compile all source files.

When you re-build your whole project, all .OBJ files are generated using the new tools and the linker error no longer appears.
