Enrico,
Why don't you allocate memory dinamically in runtime using hb_xgrab() ?
It is the right way to do it or you run out of stack memory

Antonio,
I know about dynamic allocation but I asked specifically for static allocation that doesn't use heap or stack.

I guess that you may have found a Borland bug

You could try it with Visual C++ and see what happens

Antonio,
I've already tried with another C compiler and got no error message.

Then it confirms it is a Borland bug
Anyhow I don't see it as dangerous one for the apps
