Allocation Limit on WINMEM32 Global32Alloc() Function

• Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) versions 3.0, 3.1

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.
