--- Comment #14 from David Simcha <dsim...@yahoo.com> 2011-02-23 20:26:47 PST --- (In reply to comment #11) > In addition, your statement that we only get 16 TB of space doesn't matter. > It > means the *jump size* is 16 TB. That is, if you exceed 16 TB of space for a > block, then you just store the maximum. The algorithm just has to be adjusted > to jump back that amount, then check the page at that location (which will > also > know how far to jump back), and continue on. > I'd rather just assume that, in the near future, noone is ever going to allocate 16 TB in one allocation and in the distant future, we can switch to size_t, though hopefully we'll have a better GC by the time anyone has enough RAM to allocate 16 TB in one allocation. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
