You'll get the same problem with the asm code generated by ocamlopt. And I'm afraid that if you compile everything in 32-bit mode, you'll end up with a 32-bit program that can only access the low 4G of memory. > I actually need to use more than 4GB of memory. Currently, your only options are to use an Alpha or an Itanium. - Xavier Leroy ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
