Re: Malloc failures check

2019-11-20 Thread Dr Paul Dale 

Adding a compile time check would be good.  I’m not sure how.
It would be possible to implement a malloc failure feature in the test suite 
that systematically runs a test many times, failing successive malloc calls.

I’m kind of surprised that the various static analysers hadn't found some of 
these.

Malloc failures check

2019-11-20 Thread Dmitry Belyavsky 
Hello,

Observing a series of similar bugs related to a lack of checks of the
malloc return values, I wonder if we could automate the search of these
errors on the compile level (e.g. similar to the __owur macro)?
