Description
The default heap size on Windows, both 32 and 64-bit, is 1400mb.  This makes
sense on 32-bit Windows due to the address space break at 2gb, but doesn't
on 64-bit Windows.  We should remove the restriction for 64-bit platforms.
Comments
EVALUATION There's #ifdef'ed AMD64 code in src/os_cpu/linux_x86/vm/os_linux_x86.cpp that should probably by #ifdef'ed _LP64. If it were, we could move allocatable_physical_memory back to os_linux.cpp.

SUGGESTED FIX In src/os/windows/vm/os_windows.cpp, replace julong os::allocatable_physical_memory(julong size) { return MIN2(size, (julong)1400*M); } with julong os::allocatable_physical_memory(julong size) { #ifdef _LP64 return size; #else return MIN2(size, (julong)1400*M); #endif }
