Purpose
Sets the maximum size of the area shared
by the static data (both initialized and uninitialized) and the heap.
Syntax
>>- -bmaxdata--:----number-------------------------------------><
Parameters
- number
- The number of bytes used representing the soft ulimit set
by the system loader.
- For 32-bit programs, the maximum value allowed by the system is
0x80000000 for programs that are running under large program support
and 0xD0000000 for programs that are running under very large program
support. For details, see Large program support in IBM AIX® Information
Center.
- For 64-bit programs, the -bmaxdata option
provides a guaranteed maximum size for the programs data heap. You
can specify any value, but the data area cannot extend past 0x06FFFFFFFFFFFFF8
regardless of the value that you specified.
