/LARGEADDRESSAWARE (Handle Large Addresses)
/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 will display information to that effect.
