I don't recall the last time I saw a malloc() fail. Of course, that could be the problem of Linux overcommitting memory, but that's not really related to what you're talking about. Wouldn't the best way to get your answer be to try a large malloc()? You shouldn't have to worry about segmenting unless you're coding in assembly. ~Ryan -- http://rmgraham.blogspot.com http://twitter.com/rmgraham --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
