Anything that doesn't use overcommit. Windows is the big obvious one here. Also various UNIX-like things, and even Linux is not guaranteed to return non-NULL, depending on how the kernel is set up (e.g. on some RHELs I think, or on plenty of embedded setups.) Some libcs will fail if the requested size is outside of the allowed range. In any case, the checks should be done. - Derek _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
