mem allocation / heap_chunk

[Fabrice Marchal]

Hi,
I have come accross the 384 Mb limit for allocating memory in cygwin.
(e.g.  char* pnt = new char[ long size = 500*1024*1024 ]; will not work )

I have been able to modify this using the workaround documented in the
Users Guide (http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-maxmem.html)

I would like to know if there is a way to do the same within code so 
that end-users
who receive a cygwin-compiled code do not require to go into the hassle of
using regtool or regedit

Is that feasible?

Thanks
fm
