[ITK Community] Windows TIFF size limit

[Gib Bogle]

Hello,

Can someone tell me whether the tiff size limit on Windows is 2GB, as a message from Luis Ibanez in 2010 said:

or unlimited as Brad Lowekamp recently wrote.  I followed (I think) Brad's advice, and rebuilt my ITK libraries on Windows with ITK_USE_64BITS_IDS selected, and providing ITK_COMPUTER_MEMORY_SIZE = 12 GB.  When I attempt to read the compressed version of a 4.5 GB tiff with ImageFileReader, the program crashes silently (no error is caught by 'catch').  I need to know whether or not this is the expected behaviour.

I am committed to processing some big multi-image tiffs, but I am having no luck with either Windows or Linux.  Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Gib
