Lua Is there a way to go past 2 GB Lua memory limit?

[zbizu]

As in title. I tried to load and compare two OTB files, but the server just crashes at 1.9 GB RAM occupied with out of (Lua?) memory exception.
In normal conditions I don't plan to use that much, but I can imagine it happening. Is there a way to raise that limit? What are the potential downsides?

Environment:
Windows 7, compilation mode 64 bit release, visual studio 19 with sdk .194 and toolset v142
I have at least 5 GB free when server hits its limit so it isn't my PC RAM issue.

This seems to be 32bit memory limit.
Try this:

Determine whether Lua compiler runs 32 or 64 bit

I am currently using Windows on my default development system and Linux on my server where I deploy my Lua scripts. For Windows there are only several 32 bit interpreters like Lua for Windows one I

function bits() return 1<<32==0 and 32 or 1<<64==0 and 64 end

Just a heads up, Lua doesn't have bitwise operators until version 5.3
