Out of ROM, A segment of the program is too large main Seg

[Faheem Khan]

After writing a program in C++ for PIC 877A, i got fllowing error

"Out of ROM, A segment of the program is too large main Seg 00035"

I am using PIC C Compiler version 3.249. Following is the working algo of my program;

main()
{

while()
{
function_1()
................
................
function_2()
................
................
function_3()
}
}
/**************************/
function_3()
{
function_3_1()
................
................
function_3_2()
}
/**************************/
function_3_2()
{
function_3_2_1()
.................
................
function_3_2_1()
..............
..............
function_3_2_1()

}
/**************************/

The function_3_2_1() is

lcd_putc("\f"Hello);

which I am calling four times. This is compiler inbuilt function. Inside function_3_2() if I dont call function_3_2_1() then this error is eliminated. If you need tyhe original code then I can slo paste that

Thankyou very mush for reading my problem. I am waiting for reply

Try doing a search of the forum for this error. The fix has been published here, probably several dozen times. What is almost certainly happening, is that most of your functions are being coded as 'inline' (since this is quicker in execution), and unless you force them to be 'separate', this will make the main program become huge.
