[Bioc-devel] Update existing packages and change name

Hey all,

I have been updating my pathprint and pathprintGeoData packages (in 3.7)
and I encountered the following error in one of them (only on windows
server):

Error: cannot allocate vector of size 237.3 Mb

Here is the report: https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.7/bioc-LATEST/
pathprint/tokay2-checksrc.html

How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Sokratis

Hi Sokratis,

Note that this error happens only when running the examples in 32-bit
mode (arch i386) but not in 64-bit mode (arch x64). 32-bit Windows
doesn't allow a process to use more than 2 Gb of RAM. There is no such
limit with 64-bit Windows.

You have 2 options: (1) reduce the memory footprint of the examples,
or (2) give up on supporting your package for 32-bit Windows users.

(2) should be the last resort.

Cheers,
