[fpc-devel] fpc 2.6.2 - heaptrc and dwarf will crash

[Bruce Tulloch]

It appears heaprc has another problem; if the RTL (and therefore heaprc) is
compiled with OVERFLOWCHECKS enabled (i.e. -Co) it blows up when the
aggregate of memory allocations made by a thread exceeds 4GB (the size of
32 bit allocation variables, e.g. getmem8_size).

Does this perhaps suggest that this file should specify
{$PUSH}{$Q-}...{$POP} at the appropriate places to avoid this problem?
Otherwise, a program with the heap tracer enabled running with an RTL built
with this check enabled will throw an overflow exception eventually.
