[pypy-dev] 2GB Limit on Windows

[Roger Flores]

Is the 2GB limit being lifted on the Windows nightlies?  I ask because I keep bumping, painfully, into it.  I found this link:

http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/windows.html#preping-windows-for-the-large-build

Googling more about "editbin /largeaddressaware"

http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t492725-how-to-make-a-32bit-application-use-more-than-2gb-ram-on-64bit-windows-2003-a.html

It appears editbin is for when you don't pass /LARGEADDRESSAWARE to the linker.  Perhaps a Windows build savvy person could add the magic flag to where ever the linker is?


Thanks,
