Hi DeN Apelgants,

There is a new LuaJIT dedicated mailing list:
http://luajit.org/list.html

Thanks,

AFAIU LuaJIT uses custom memory allocator and wants to allocate some memory (using mmap(2) under 4GiB boundary on 64-bit platforms. mmap(2) on linux accepts special flag for this (MAP_32BIT), FreeBSD and MacOSX honors hint given as first mmap() argument, but Solaris always returns memory from high half of 64-bit address space (here is a thread about FreeBSD support http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2010-10/msg00625.html). Is it possible to support/workaround?
