I wrote about this zip/memory issue in the forums too [1].
Here's some part of the description:
"It turns out my computer was literally running out of memory as the file was
getting unzipped. For some reason to uncompress a 1-gig file with uncompressed
size of 4-gig, Zip Archive of D-Lang tries to use more than 16 gig of RAM. I
don't know why. Maybe I missed something. I use a Windows 10, DMD v2.091 with
x86_mscoff.
My work around was to call 7z from D Lang and do the compression over there.
That worked like a charm.
It seems that zip.d [1] calls uncompress routine from zlib.d [2]. Would calling
zlib uncompress by chunks solve this memory issue? Any ideas?"
