Bug 23804 – max total size of static arrays

https://dlang.org/spec/arrays.html "2. The total size of a static array cannot exceed 16Mb" Radio Yerevan was asked: "Is it true that in D static arrays cannot exceed 16Mb?" Radio Yerevan answered: "In principle, yes. But it is not megabits (Mb) but mebibytes (MiB). Furthermore the maximum size of static arrays is int.max bytes (2,147,483,647 B = 2 GiB - 1 B) except for Windows where it is 16 MiB." diff --git a/compiler/src/dmd/target.d b/compiler/src/dmd/target.d index 461e1e9..a3ab681 100644 --- a/compiler/src/dmd/target.d +++ b/compiler/src/dmd/target.d @@ -262,9 +262,9 @@ extern (C++) struct Target if (ptrsize == 4) { /* Optlink cannot deal with individual data chunks - * larger than 16Mb + * larger than 16 MiB */ - maxStaticDataSize = 0x100_0000; // 16Mb + maxStaticDataSize = 0x100_0000; // 16 MiB } } else
