HC12: Why do I keep outcoding my lisence?

[ARPR_COREY]

Hi,

I am working on a thesis project and i am programming an hcs12dp256 with codewarrior. I keep running into the problem where i get a link error " L4025: This limited version allows only 32768 bytes of C code". The thing is, i don't see any possible way that my code is this big. I am currently using large memory model, with 32 bit floats and 64 bit doubles. Would these two factors have a large impact on the size of my code? And if so what can i do to get around this. Would using the small memory model help? Is there anywhere to get a free full lisence for students? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

Including a library like floating point calculation takes a lot of space.

I doubt there is a free student license for CodeWarrior Professional Edition, the software package cost more than 3,000$ !

Try not using these libraries and split your calculations to use shorter types.
