For Python 3.9+, the 32 KiB limit can be removed. The console documentation still includes the misleading disclaimer about "available heap". This refers to a relatively small block of shared memory (64 KiB IIRC) that's overlayed by a heap, not the default process heap. Shared memory is used by system LPC ports to efficiently pass large messages between a system server (e.g. csrss.exe, conhost.exe) and a client process. The console API used to use an LPC port, but in Windows 8.1+ it uses a driver instead, so none of the "available heap" warnings apply anymore. Microsoft should clarify the docs to stress that the warning is for Windows 7 and earlier. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37871> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
