There is no failure as of yet. The thing is that I know someone who actually NEEDS 3GB, and they asked me to make sure that Wine can support that. I am, of course, talking about a Linux kernel that is compiled with bigmem support too.Steven Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:
The flag that the application sets in the PE header is
IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE. According to Inside Windows NT, you can
change this is a existing application but running imagecfg.exe from the
support \directory in the Windows NT Advanced Server Edition CDrom or
by compiling your application with /LARGEADDRESSAWARE. According to the
book if you run the app on a normal Windows system then it should just
run it in the 2 gig address space.
Yes, this is why I'm surprised that there would actually be an app that requires the 3G address space, and why it would be interesting to get a test case for that failure condition.
The thing about providing a "proof of concept" is that without running it on a bigmem kernel, I don't think there is any way of checking it.
