It affects the sizes of many arrays, including the FLAGS array, which is part of every line, pad, pin, via, polygon, etc (two per byte, 64 layers = 32 bytes per object). Also, the layergroup array is N^2 and the global pcb->data has an array of layers (not as big a deal on those, just mentioning them). not sure how the gtk GUI deals with the variable number of layers in a project, but if it still has some left-over code that uses MAX_LAYER instead of max_layer, you'd end up with 64 somethings on the screen. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
