Hi:
While compiling a large project with gcc,
I notice that even though I have almost 1GB
of free memory, during the link phase,
gcc uses ~300MB of physical mem and ~200MB
of virtual. Any ideas on why it is using
virtual memory when there is a load of physical
left?
Any and all ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean
