I added the /LARGEADDRESSAWARE link flag for win32.win32.x86 and wpf.win32.x86 |
Created attachment 202535 [details] 32-bit eclipse launcher recompiled with /LARGEADDRESSAWARE switch The 32-bit IBM JRE is compiled with this switch, and as a result it is able to access 3GB of memory (or 4GB if running on 64-bit Windows) instead of the default 2GB. However when eclipse is launched with the JRE embedded in the same process, the addressable limit is the default 2GB, which can constrain resource-intensive apps. This is a request to recompile eclipse's 32-bit launcher on Windows with this switch. For reference, attached is an example of the launcher compiled with this switch.
