INF: Allocation Limit on WINMEM32 Global32Alloc() Function

ID Number: Q73677

WINDOWS

Summary:

WINMEM32 is a dynamic-link library (DLL) that is designed to support

the 32-bit flat memory model under Windows enhanced mode.

The largest block of memory that Global32Alloc() can request is (16

megabytes -- 64K). Global32Alloc allocates memory through the Windows

kernel, which imposes this particular size limitation.

Adding the ability to process larger allocations is under

consideration for a future version of Windows.
