It means your program is larger than some limit imposed by your
environment (268435456 bytes = 256 MiB).

To get rid of that warning you need to reduce the size of your executable.

About the only way you can get an executable that large is by using a
namespace level large raw array. Use std:.vector instead. And just say
no to globals.

Yep. I was going to suggest to look at the MS docs... but this time
the OP is right: all I can see there is "The application exceeds the
limit of 256 megabytes.".

That's odd, as normally the MS documentation isn't so useless (render
unto Caesar... )

Now, if memory serves me correctly, Windows 95 and NT 4.0 pre-SP3 had
a process virtual address space limit of 256 MiB. The rest of the
Windows 32-bit family members have a 2 GiB limit (though linkers
aren't required to reach it ). The warning can be suppressed, but
he should really shrink the executable a bit :-s
