BTW, do those other tools actually use such larrge data structures? There's a difference (from the assembler's point of view) between a program that just uses 64 bit instructions and one that contains such large data structures. In the latter case, the assembler itself must be able to work with 64 bit numbers, while in the former case it only needs the 64 bit instruction codes.
We compiled 64 bit versions of gawk and perl. They were tested with large data sets (12 Gig). I know they allocates memory dynamically. That could make the difference I guess.
Indeed. The assembler probably doesn't need to do any 64 bit computations for these.
