What is the maximum array size, using GNU C compiler?
It looks like g77 complains after about 12000000.
I'm considering getting an Alpha system with 2GB RAM, but
don't know if I'll be able to compile software to handle
it.
Would a 64-bit system make a difference? I would guess the
compilers would have to be re-written.
Is there a commercial compiler which could handle this
size?
Anybody got any idea? I had never considered a 64-bit
system such as Alpha before, but now might be the time...
Anybody using g77 on Alpha, do you know if there is a
limitation?
thanks,
AG
