[llvm-dev] Hitting kMaxNumChunks

[Kostya Serebryany via llvm-dev]

+Aleksey, who has been dealing with the allocator recently.

If you have a "((idx)) < ((kMaxNumChunks))" (0x40000, 0x40000)
check failure, it means that you've allocated (and did not deallocate) 2^18
large heap regions, each *at least* (2^17+1) bytes.
This means, that you have live large heap chunks of 2^35 bytes (or more) in
total, which is 32Gb.
Does this sound correct?

If yes, yea, I guess we need to bump kMaxNumChunks
