Agreed, but it's impossible to standardize the configure script on a "good enough" value. Some people might need 512MB, others 2GB... > Another way to increase the memory available for an application is to > use the ldedit command on the python executable: > > ldedit -b maxdata:0x20000000 ./python > > That may be easier than passing it directly to the linker. Sounds better. That means that it can be decoupled from the build process. (although for a hypothetical buildbot, I think passing LDR_CNTRL would be the most practical solution) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11212> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
