Description
With recent MSVC versions (e.g. 15.6.2) we get warnings when building a 64-bit Qt:
LNK4281 - "undesirable base address 0x6400000 for x64 image; set base address above 4GB for best ASLR optimization".
For 64-bit builds we must either
- specify higher base addresses
- or don't specify the base address at all
The former potentially reduces DLL load times and memory footprint [1].
The latter is recommended by Microsoft for security reasons [2].
