This allows to have a larger address space and therefore more memory available for the 32-bit executables on 64-bit host systems on Windows. For more details see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wz223b1z.aspx

sounds good. i don't know much about windows development personally. |

It should be <LargeAddressAware>true</LargeAddressAware>, not an additional flag. |

Do you assume it is safe to do because cppcheck scans its own code? (and so should not perform incompatible pointer arithmetics)? Or because of extensive tests? |

We do not require that pointers are smaller than 2 GB (cppcheck runs also on 64-bit systems). |
