I work with Windows2000 Pc:Pentium4 dual-threading,2*256Mb memory,4095Mb virtual memory.fasmw1.68
According windows documentation I can write programm with length
"length cod"+"length data"<=4Gb
Compiler in IDE or compiler thru Command Prompt send message "Out of memory"
Please write trial programm under windows that use data with length 3Gb and
compiler compile this programm and we can execute it.

In 32-bit Windows you can only use 2GB per process in normal boot mode. And 3GB per process when booting in 3GB mode and your app has the LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag set.

In 64-bit Windows a 32-bit process can use 4GB.

But the LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag still needs to be set, right? I think that there was some discussion about this earlier but AFAIK, the PE formatter still has no way to set it.

Yeah, I expect so.

Perhaps:

Code:

format PE GUI 4.0 LARGE

fasm can't do it now of course, but it would be quite simple to add.

However for the OPs problem of out of memory, I doubt that can be solved so simply. fasm needs a contiguous block of memory to work with and Windows in 3GB mode still uses 0x7fff0000 in the process address space so it is not possible to get a 3GB contiguous block.
