--- Comment #10 from MulticoreNOP <multicore...@mailbox.org> --- (In reply to Simon Matter from comment #7) #define MALLOC_MAX 0x100000000 is greater than uint32-MAX, therefore will overflow and result in an unpredictable and unfriendly manner. #define MALLOC_MAX 0xD09DC300 (~3,5GiB) leaves some space to detect a "just too big for this implementation" and will fail gracefully. Yet, the real culprit here is the use of "unsigned int" as opposed to size_t. I therefore propose the attached patch that removes MALLOC_MAX in its entirety and should allow arrays as big as available virtual memory can support. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
