[fpc-devel] Compiler limitations

2008-05-09 Thread Miklos Cserzo
Hi Folks, according the documentation Arrays are limited to 2 GBytes in size in the default processor mode. Is there another mode allowing bigger arrays? Cheers, miklos ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org

What about iterators, linked lists ? You can use them some of them. You can also create a temporary file that built in a way that you understand it as an array. there are many ways to do work around over this issues. I yet found a good reason to have such a big data for array. It's bed practice.
