off topic: Xharbour mingw 32 bits

[JoséQuintas]

helping a friend.

Memory(0) on harbour 32 bits and mingw:
- 2GB mingw 6.4
- 3GB later
- 4GB mingw 14.2

Is it the same on XHarbour ?
mingw 32 bits, NOT 64 bits

Dear Jose,

Memory(0) on harbour 32 bits and mingw:
- 2GB mingw 6.4
- 3GB later
- 4GB mingw 14.2

have you tested these values yourself ? Windows 32 bits does not gives you 4GB even if theoretically should be possible.

in my test, harbour with mingw, bcc, msvc 32 bits

in mingw32 14.2 ->4gb
in msvc32 -> 2gb
in bcc770 32 bits -> 2gb

[Antonio Linares]

very good news,

thanks Carlos!

[JoséQuintas]

32 bits limit is 4GB.
On Windows 32 bits, memory is used by Windows and video too, application is limited to remaining memory.
On Windows 64 bits, a 32 bits application can use up to 4GB memory.
Sometimes this may be helpfull, but seems that only mingw was updated.

With MSC32, just add this link switch:

Code: Select all  Expand view

/LARGEADDRESSAWARE

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

And this is for BCC32:

Code: Select all  Expand view

-GF:LARGEADDRESSAWARE

[karinha]

And this is for BCC32:

Code: Select all  Expand view

-GF:LARGEADDRESSAWARE

Buenos días Enrique. ¿Alguna vez has usado este comando? ¿Crees que es una buena idea? ¿No arruinará eso la memoria? ¿Puedo poner este comando en BUILDX.BAT para probar?

Good morning Enrico. Have you ever used this command? Do you think it's a good idea? Won't that blow the memory? Can I put this command in BUILDX.BAT to test?

Gracias, tks.

Regards, saludos.

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Yes, now I'm using it. No problem so far.

[karinha]

Yes, now I'm using it. No problem so far.

Enrico, without abusing his good will, could show the SYNTAX of what the writing would look like in BUILDX.bat, I'm not in the mood to take risks.

Enrico, sin abusar de su buena voluntad, podría mostrar la SINTAXIS de cómo quedaría la escritura en BUILDX.bat?

Gracias, tks.

Regards, saludos.

Just add this line to your ilink32.cfg:

Code: Select all  Expand view

-GF:LARGEADDRESSAWARE

[karinha]

Just add this line to your ilink32.cfg:

Code: Select all  Expand view

-GF:LARGEADDRESSAWARE

So is that correct?

Code: Select all  Expand view

-Gn
-GF:LARGEADDRESSAWARE
-Lc:\bcc77\lib;c:\bcc77\lib\psdk
-aa
-x
 

Gracias, tks.

Regards, saludos.

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Yes.

[karinha]

Yes.

Thank you!
