Largest free block parameter

Good day! The question is, how is this parameter calculated? One-time after starting or when registering an exception? Does it describe the maximum free block of unfragmented memory?

It's recalculated every time a bug report is created. And yes, it lists the largest free block of unfragmented memory.

FWIW:
2^32 = 4294967296 = 4 GB
2^64 = 18446744073709551616 = 17179869184 GB
That said, I think current Windows x64 OSs only allow a subset of the 64bit memory range to be used. Not sure how much exactly...
