chunkHighMark ignored when it is a big number #101

Open julyclyde opened 6 years ago

julyclyde commented 6 years ago

I'm trying to let polipo make use of large memory, so I increased chunkHighMark to 2G-8K, it works. If I set it to 2G+1-8K, it would be ignored and set to default value 25165824.

Is this limit desired? or by accident?

That's expected. There are many places in Polipo where 32-bit overflow is not handled correctly.

I think it would be useful to mention this limitation in document if it doesn’t worth fixing. On Fri, May 11, 2018 at 21:54, Juliusz Chroboczek notifications@github.com wrote:

Polipo is no longer being updated, sorry.
