Hi all,
What's the current status of large address awareness for cygwin
binaries? I know at one point it seemed to be working well -- other than
an issue with emacs (fixed now?) -- and there was talk of making it the
default. However, this does not seem to be the case yet, based on
looking at peflags for a couple of binaries.
Thoughts?
Ryan

The emacs problem was fixed last August, as of the release of emacs-23.3-3.

It's the default for anything built with Cygwin's current gcc:
$ gcc -dumpspecs | grep large-address-aware
%{mwindows:--subsystem windows} %{mconsole:--subsystem console}
%{!mno-cygwin:%{!mno-use-libstdc-wrappers: --wrap _Znwj --wrap _Znaj
--wrap _ZdlPv --wrap _ZdaPv --wrap _ZnwjRKSt9nothrow_t --wrap
_ZnajRKSt9nothrow_t --wrap _ZdlPvRKSt9nothrow_t --wrap
_ZdaPvRKSt9nothrow_t }} %{shared: %{mdll: %eshared and mdll are not
compatible}} %{shared: --shared} %{mdll:--dll} %{static:-Bstatic}
%{!static:-Bdynamic} %{shared|mdll: --enable-auto-image-base -e
%{mno-cygwin:_DllMainCRTStartup@12}
%{!mno-cygwin:__cygwin_dll_entry@12}}
%{!mno-cygwin:--dll-search-prefix=cyg %{!shared: %{!mdll:
--large-address-aware --tsaware}}}
Binaries built with earlier releases of gcc aren't changed.
