Very interesting. malloc() does work for 2 GB. Broke at 3 GB:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#define GIGABYTES 2000000000UL
main()
{
uint32_t i;
char *cp;
cp = malloc( GIGABYTES );
printf("cp = 0x%08x\n", cp );
for( i = 0 ; i < GIGABYTES ; i++ )
cp[i] = 0x55;
printf("sleeping\n");
sleep( 1000 );
}
