The soft heap limit SQLite provides has potential uses beyond just constraining memory usage in very low memory environments. Commodity 1U servers are currently available that offer 144GB of RAM installed with a 64 bit operating system. On a system with 144GB of RAM you currently only have the option of either using no limit at all or using a very small value less than 2GB because the parameter to the function
void sqlite3_soft_heap_limit(int); is an integer. Having the option of using a value beyond 2GB would be useful for these newer systems for the very same reasons that having a soft heap limit of up to half the RAM on a system was useful on older systems that only supported 4GB of memory.
