Linker warning: "LNK4084 - total image size exceeds max (256MB); image may not run" Description: When linking an application which contains large arrays, the linker gives the warning "LNK4084 - total image size exceeds max (256MB); image may not run".Explanation: Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 have a limit for the total size of static code and data of 256MB. If the amount of static code and data exceeds this size, the image may not execute. This is a limitation in the operating system . The most common cause of large static data is large local or COMMON arrays.Solution: For Windows NT 4.0, install Microsoft's Windows NT Service Pack 3 (or later). This raises the limit on static code and data to 1.75GB. However, the linker is not modified by this update and will continue to issue the warning, which can be ignored. The limit on Windows 98, Windows 2000 and Windows XP is 1.75GB, the same as Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 - if your application will be not be running on Windows 95, or on Windows NT 4.0 prior to SP3, you can ignore this message.For Windows 95, Microsoft has not released an update which raises the limit. An alternative is to make the large arrays ALLOCATABLE. Dynamically allocated data is not subject to the 256MB limit.
