| |
| <p><a name="index-overlays-949"></a> |
| If your program is too large to fit completely in your target system's |
| memory, you can sometimes use <dfn>overlays</dfn> to work around this |
| problem. <span class="sc">gdb</span> provides some support for debugging programs that |
| use overlays. |
