Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2001 11:55:00 -0800 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6700 Does cygwin/gcc have a limit on how much memory it can allocate under Win2k? In particular, from my testing it seems that if the total amount of memory I allocate in my C program using malloc calls exceeds the total amount of PHYSICAL memory on my system (128MB), the allocation fails, even though I asked Win2k to set up a 1GB paging file on my hard drive. Is there any way to avoid this restriction, and have malloc take the virtual memory into account? Thanks. Richard Stanton -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
