what is the size of a segment on IA32e using 64-bit flat model (that is what's
used?)? I have been trying to read up on this, but getting nowhere by reading
the docs.
is it the same 64K limitation we've always had with 8086?
I am asking because I have about 1000 lines of function which cased GCC to
internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
I am using x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.8-stdthread-win64_rubenvb
I really like the compiler, but was surprised that I could even hit a limit on
the function size so rapidly with 64-bit.
and I am thinking that it's a really unfortunate limitation that's in the cpu
if this is really the case. I am pretty sure my code is not 2GiB in size.
it has a lot of strings, and at the time, those were surrounded with
std::string() which seemed to make things tremendously worse.
I have at least 2 programs which use large functions 1000+ lines long. one
program is 10k lines long.
