Re: size limit for static arrays in cygwin/gcc


Charles,

Did you read that section of the Cygwin User's Guide? That limit is not available RAM, but rather an additional Cygwin-imposed limit. I'd interpret that as a "system" limit and it certainly is "[other than] available memory and 2**32 address space."

How much memory do you want to allocate? What is your current Cygwin heap limit as indicated by the output of this command:

regtool -v list '/HKLM/Software/Cygnus Solutions/Cygwin'

How does that value relate to the amount of RAM you'd like to be able to allocate in a single process?

Thanks, but my question was whether there is any OTHER limit than memory.
Any compiler or system limit?
