This information is from section D.1.3 (Page 340) of the "Microsoft
QuickC Programmer's Guide and section E.3.3 (Page 269) of the
"Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler User's Guide" for Versions 5.00 and
5.10.
This message indicates potential problems but does not hinder
compilation and linking. The number in parentheses at the end of a
warning-message description gives the minimum warning level that must
be set for the message to appear.
The following is the warning:
C4040 near/far/huge on 'identifier' ignored
The 'near' or 'far' keyword has no effect in the
declaration of the given identifier and is ignored.
You cannot declare an array to be huge if it is declared within a
function because this array will reside on the stack that is limited
to the default data segment. You can move the declaration of the array
with the huge keyword outside of all functions, use the "static" or
"extern" keywords to move the array into a far data segment, or use a
huge or far pointer.
QuickC Versions 1.00 and 1.01 do not support the huge keyword or the
huge-memory model.
