is there some way to enlarge the heapsize of a c++ program? In android you can easily do that by declaring it as large in the manifestfile.
I encountered this problem when I tried to allocate one billion array-elements on the heap.
int main() {
int size = 1000000000;
int* nmbr = new int[size];
return 0;
}

C++ itself doesn't know what the "heap" is. This is an implementation issue, so you have to look into your compiler's documentation. Here's what a Google search for "MSVC heap size flag" found:

Quoting from the MSDN page:
The /HEAP option sets the size of the heap in bytes. This option is only for use when building an .exe file.
