Hi All,

I wrote simple program to print "Hi how are you" 100,000 times and
compiled on Redhat Linux 9.0

test.c

  main()
    {
       printf("Hi How are you");
         .
         .
         .
       /*Repeated printf for more one hundread thousand times */
    }

then

did #make test
  cc test.c -o test

this command did NOT exit for more than half hour, later I did
control-c to exit.

Please tell me why I can't compile this long code?, what would be the
best approach other than splitting the code.

I would appreciate your answer talking in terms of OS limitations,
compiler and language standards. Please don't suggest to optimize code
using loops which I am very much aware.

thanks
kishuri
