- Dear Erez:
-
- Sorry to hear about your frustration; I, as any other developer, could
- relate to a problem of this magnitude. Also thanks for sharing the
- info.
-
- Although I have not run into the same problem, I have observed
- something, from what you said and from what I have done. I think an
- object cannot be bigger than 32K; that is, the size of BOTH METHODS
- and FIELDS cannot be > 32K (like any other data type). So, instead of
- reducing the methods, perhaps you could reduce size of the fields if
- possible; eg: instead of using an array, use a pointer to a handle
- (which is only 4 bytes) and keep the data on the heap. Of course, you
- have to manipulate this "handle" array differently.
-
- Best wishes to you.
