However, while I didn't check what MM_INTERNAL_FID is, it doesn't sound like something calloc() would take. > However, I noticed in the function description it states "used for small > memory allocations," which prompts me to inquire if there is an alternative > calloc function for larger memory allocations > "Small" probably means "infallible" here. If you want a fallible allocation (which you're supposed to handle), you can use VSICalloc(), VSIMalloc() etc. Laurentiu
