LARGEADDRESSAWARE[:NO]
## Remarks The /LARGEADDRESSAWARE option tells the linker that the application can handle addresses larger than 2 gigabytes. In the 64-bit compilers, this option is enabled by default. In the 32-bit compilers, /LARGEADDRESSAWARE:NO is enabled if /LARGEADDRESSAWARE is not otherwise specified on the linker line. If an application was linked with /LARGEADDRESSAWARE, DUMPBIN [/HEADERS](../Topic/-HEADERS.md) will display information to that effect. ### To set this linker option in the Visual Studio development environment 1. Open the project's **Property Pages** dialog box. For details, see [Setting Visual C++ Project Properties](../Topic/Working%20with%20Project%20Properties.md). 2. Click the **Linker** folder. 3. Click the **System** property page. 4. Modify the **Enable Large Addresses** property. ### To set this linker option programmatically - See [LargeAddressAware](assetId:///P:Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine.VCLinkerTool.LargeAddressAware?qualifyHint=False&autoUpgrade=True). ## See Also [Setting Linker Options](../Topic/Setting%20Linker%20Options.md) [Linker Options](../Topic/Linker%20Options.md)
