Is this really the case? I'm pretty sure I've _never_ ignored the possibility of a NULL return from malloc, and I've been using it for nearly 20 years. I usually print a message and exit, but I never ignore it. I thought that was pretty standard practise. This is just a random comment, orthogonal to the overcommit issue, but I've seen both you and Matthew say this now, and I was surprised both times. -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
