#201 introduced a regression that causes memory allocations above 16GB to fail. This was reported in #226. It's difficult to support both a small minimal heap size and very large heap sizes within the same built binary.
As a workaround, we introduce the
ego_largeheap
build tag. For most users, the default behavior (small minimal requirements, up to 16GB heap) should be fine. Users wanting larger heap sizes can build their apps with the new build tag.On signing, the CLI informs the user in case a rebuild with this tag is required.
