FWIW, SUS Issue 5 defines RLIMIT_AS as applying to both malloc and mmap, but RLIMIT_DATA as applying only to malloc. (That is, mmap'd pages do not count against the data limit.) > If you're a 32-bit process, then malloc'ing or mmap'ing a 2GB object will be > difficult at best. Agreed. And I'm not endorsing the mmap approach for this problem anyway - I'd use a streaming approach, so I'm not limited by address space. -- Michael Wojcik Distinguished Engineer, Micro Focus -- openssl-users mailing list To unsubscribe: https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-users
