/heap: linker option

[Bob H]

I want to allocate the heap size in Visual C++ using Project > Settings > Link tab. It seems like it is only possible to allocate the stack size using this screen. There should be a way to add /heap: as a linker option but it alludes me. I know this question was asked a long time ago but there was no response.

You add linker options in the "Project Options" entry box under the link settings (same for cl options under the C/C++ tab)

You can also use editbin.exe for setting the heap size.

And I should add you can also #pragma it in

#pragma comment(linker,"/HEAP:reservesize,commitsize")
