I was working with a code that was just taking 22% RAM and 25% ROM. It is very normal code. But if I add just a single line, it says not enough ROM. What is the solution of this?

Post the project (all files). I will try to fix it.
 

I solved it myself. Splitting a big function into several small functions. Now it is OK. Basically PIC16F series can't handle a function over 2000 instruction. Although it may consume very little RAM & ROM adding another line may cause RAM/ROM overloaded. Because linker can't handle that. So if a large function is split into several small functions then it is ok.
 
They should add a proper warning and not such a confusing message...
Did you post on mikroC forums?
 

yes, they should have a warning for this type of problem with their compiler. I'll request them to add this feature in there next update. And yes, I requested few thing before and they changed those things I requested earlier. They are responsive in this matter.

Requested. Hope they will add this feature in the next update.
