Hi
Mikael is on holiday.

It does normal malloc() or C++ new for all memory areas.
These of course return contiguous pieces of memory.
So e.g. DataMemory will be (and must be) contiguous.
Since free() or C++ delete is almost never done, there should
be no problem with fragmentation.

What does "ulimit -a" say? Have you tried running as root?
Test max malloc with this:
#include <stdlib.h>
main(int argc, char** argv)
{
size_t n = atoll(argv[1]);
if (malloc(n)) printf("%lld ok!\n", (long long)n);
else perror("");
}
On this 32-bit debian machine I get about max 1.1G
(less than I expected):
% ./a 1100000000
1100000000 ok!
% ./a 1200000000
Cannot allocate memory
