Re: [Boost-users] size_type doubts / integer library..

-----Messaggio originale----- I believe (I checked some time ago) that you cannot allocate an object of size 2GB on any 32-bit OS that I could get my hands on. Do you know of any place where you can?

Sure those systems are few, very few, but they exist. I think Solaris/x86 can go to nearly 4GByte, some Linux to 3 GByte, and why not talking about the old 80286 allowing 64Kbyte allocations on a 16bit addressing scheme.
