Hi, Now, I'm developing some applications with "sqlite-3.0.8", and also using "electric fence" which is a memory debugger. (http://www.pf-lug.de/projekte/haya/efence.php)
With the developed applications running, efectric fence detects a memory error. To be more specific, malloc(0) may be invoked in "sqlite3_exec()" function. By default, electric fence detects malloc(0) as a memory error... (EF_ALLOW_MALLOC_0 is true) legacy.c (sqlite3_exec) ---------------------------------------------------------------- 71: azCols = sqliteMalloc(2*nCol*sizeof(const char *)); ---------------------------------------------------------------- The above code is that (nCol may be 0). The result of malloc(0) is generally undefined. (http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/malloc.html) Are there any reason to invoke malloc(0) ? Sincerely, Mikio Kishi.
