The README make it look like a vector with a reserve(4GB)

  Yes it reserves 4GB of virtual address space, it does not allocate 4GB of memory.

  And the title would clue you in that it’s a 4G virtual address reservation which isn’t the same thing

    Not exactly unexpected. Most of us work with the virtual address space these days.

    reserve(4GB) doesn't actually touch the pages it allocates so it too is only reserving virtual address space... so it is the same after all.
