Good question. I'm trying to fix Sorcery Jokers (trial) issue, bug 43119. The application repeatedly trys to allocate virtual memory as much as possible, and measures available memory size by GlobalMemoryStatusEx().
This patch is better than nothing. The application stops memory allocation about 384MB (0x17ffffff) free. After the allocation, it succeeds to load libGL.so. However, it shows driver pointer missing error when loading DRI driver, radeonsi_dri.so. I'm still in trouble with this point.
By the way, I have another idea about this issue. That is reserving virtual memory area when loading wined3d.dll and release it just before loading OpenGL libraries. Being hackish idea, I chose the forementioned method in the beginning.
As far as hacks go, does adding some arbitrary "reserved" amount to pvmi.VirtualSize make any difference?
