php.exe（WAMP）无法分配超过1G的内存，即使内存_limit设置为-1

Question

Since a few days, I cannot update my Symfony projects using Composer because the php.exe process from my WAMP install cannot allocate more than 1G of memory... I don't recall making any changes in my PHP settings.

In the php.ini (yes, the correct one), I've set memory_limit to -1. My composer diagnose is all set to OK.

• My PHP version is 5.6.18
• My WAMP version is 3.1.3
• My OS is Windows 7
• My Composer version is 1.6.5

Could it come from a Windows setting?

Here is the error message I get :

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 1397751808) (tried to allocate 268435456 bytes) in phar://C:/wamp/www/DESiwid/composer.phar/src/Composer/DependencyResolver/Solver.php on line 220
Segmentation fault

I have the same kind of error with a PHP test standalone script that I have coded to allocate :

set memory_limit to 810M
memory limit is 810M
try allocating 800 megabyte...pass.Usage: 800.5 Peak: 800.5

Answer 1

OK I found a solution : I was using WAMP 32bits, and switched to WAMP 64bits, that solved everything.
