I do not need to use any warning flag to obtain memory explosion. The 
-Wno-return-type flag indeed solve the posted testcase problem, but can't 
help. 
I am now aware that my problem is mentioned in the first part of the online 
faq (subject: virtual memory error). But what's called a large file ? And 
how to simplify files ? In order to use template one has to merge header and 
source files .... 


Thanx for the answers, Max.
