"You will need at least 2 GiB of memory to compile proxygen and its dependencies." What?

• btian 12y ago
  That is not unreasonable for modern software. You don't need 2GB of RAM to use it.

  fbthrift needs 2GiB of memory to compile (https://github.com/facebook/fbthrift https://github.com/facebook/fbthrift) and proxygen has a dependency on fbthrift.

    That then begs the question of what in fbthrift needs so much memory... is it mainly due to heavy use of C++ features like template metaprogramming?

      And then we go back to minimalism, Lua, ... always in this circle.

    Offtopic: I have a problem using fbthrift and cpp2 server together. I'm find that there is two IDL to C++ compilers that I need to use - one old thrift compiler written in C++ and the new one written in python. Code generated by both this compilers is used in tests! Is there any tutorial or article with step by step instructions?

  i wouldnt like to try compiling my work projects on anything less than 16GB ram, never mind 2GB

  Completely reasonable for modern software of this size/complexity.
