qrc_resources.cpp fatal error C1060: compiler is out of heap space

sierdzio

Try to split your resources into separate, smaller files. Compiling QRC consumes vast amounts of RAM etc. so it's quite easy to run into memory problems.

Your Qt app won't notice any difference - QRC paths inside of app stay the same, regardless of how many real concrete QRC files are used.

I've never done this before, is it simply a case of copying chunks of the file and adding another .qrc file with the content?

@SPlatten said in qrc_resources.cpp fatal error C1060: compiler is out of heap space:

Yes, exactly, a simple copy-paste. Or rather, cut-paste.

Hi,

Out of curiosity, how many resources do you have in the original file ?

SPlatten

The original XML file contains 548 lines.
358 of these are images.
5 are JavaScript files
The rest are QML files and fonts.

SPlatten

Having split the original resource into 3 files, it stills come back with the same error on the last file which contains all the QML files.

And now I'm also getting:

  C1063: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR      c1xx

J.Hilk

@SPlatten you have to rerun qmake after adding new resource files or when you edited a resource file

SPlatten

@J-Hilk, Done that, still a problem.

sierdzio

Thats weird! I've had memory issues in QRC with images, but with QML code - never. Something else must be causing the problem here.

2 things to try:

run in single-job mode (no -j 8 or /MP, no jom.exe or whatever - sorry I'm not too Windowsy :P). This should be a bit lighter on memory
try to add QML files one by one - maybe one specific QML file causes this? Maybe it contains some data which triggers the error?

SPlatten

Thanks, waiting for the current build to finish, if its still an issue I will take your advice.

SPlatten

Ok the error has changed again, now:

C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler.

And it stopped on the resource file that contains files that I don't think are relevant:

<RCC>
<qresource prefix="/">
<file>distribution_support/qt.conf</file>
<file>sortexS_tr.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_th.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_es.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_en.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_ru.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_fr.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_it.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_vi.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_pt.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_kr.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_xx.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_xy.ts</file>
<file>malgun.ttf</file>
<file>runui.bat</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>

SGaist

How heavy are these images ?
How big is these files ?

SPlatten

@SGaist Hi, sorry can you explain by heavy to you mean how big are the file size's? They are all quite small, typical icon size's and mostly png's.

SGaist

Yes, I meant their size.

SPlatten

@SGaist , The dimensions of the images again are icon sizes's so all quite small, they're is just a lot of them.

SGaist

Ok, so nothing really unusual. How big are the generated cpp files ?

SPlatten

Total six of the project folder excluding objects and executable is 28MB, 882 Files.

SGaist

Sorry, I meant the cpp files generated by rcc.

@SPlatten Hi, it's too late but, maybe adding

CONFIG += resources_big

fixes the problem
