error: argument 1 range [18446744071562067968, 18446744073709551615] exceeds maximum object size 9223372036854775807 [-werror=alloc-size-larger-than=]

The error message you encountered in C is: "error: argument 1 range [18446744071562067968, 18446744073709551615] exceeds maximum object size 9223372036854775807 [-werror=alloc-size-larger-than=]".

This error message is indicating that the value provided as argument 1 in your code is outside the valid range for the specified object size. The range specified in the error message is [18446744071562067968, 18446744073709551615], which exceeds the maximum object size of 9223372036854775807.

To understand this error message, let's break it down step by step:

  1. "error:": This indicates that an error has occurred during compilation or execution of the code.

  2. "argument 1": This refers to the first argument passed to a function or method in your code. It indicates that the error is related to the value provided as the first argument.

  3. "range [18446744071562067968, 18446744073709551615]": This specifies the range of valid values for the first argument. In this case, the range is very large and exceeds the maximum object size.

  4. "exceeds maximum object size 9223372036854775807": This part of the error message indicates that the value provided for the first argument is larger than the maximum object size allowed, which is 9223372036854775807.

  5. "[-werror=alloc-size-larger-than=]": This is a compiler flag that enables an error to be generated when the size of the allocated object exceeds a certain limit. It indicates that the error is related to the size of the object being allocated.

In summary, the error message is informing you that the value provided as the first argument in your code is outside the valid range for the specified object size. The range specified in the error message is very large and exceeds the maximum object size allowed. The compiler flag [-werror=alloc-size-larger-than=] is set to generate an error when the size of the allocated object exceeds a certain limit.
