Adriaan:
In a 32-bit process, an application can linearly address no more than typically 2 GB, even if the computer has more RAM. As a 64-bit operating system, Mac OS X can run 32-bit and 64-bit proceses. A 64-bit process can linearly address 2^63 bytes, but your program is 32-bit as it was compiled as such. With regard to a compiler capable of compiling 64-bit applications, see my message to this list of 23-06-2011 21:24.
That's at http://www.g-n-u.de/pipermail/gpc/2011-June/015064.html
I have:
% gpc --version gpc 20070904, based on gcc-3.4.6
Is there an upgrade available and should I? Where do I find it? There are a lot of options available at http://www.microbizz.nl/gpc.html and with all the different schemes people use for versions I can't tell if 'GNU Pascal 3.4.6u4' is more recent than the one I have. (Why can't the versions just be numbered consecutively?)
Thanks,
Tom
