It is 1 << 50 is the limit on heap. The following code doesn't compile:
package main
func main() {
var X [1 << 50]byte // type [1125899906842624]byte larger than address
space
_ = X
}
But with 1 << 50 - 1, it compiles:
package main
func main() {
var X [1 << 50 - 1]byte // runtime:
The linker knows nothing about heap. That's a runtime only thing.

Why d
global variables are stored in there data section of the compiled binary,
the linker imposes a 2GB size limit
the array in main can be allocated at runtime, and given enough memory, it
could succeed
