Hello, I just tried to compile some software on OpenBSD and it failed because OpenBSD does not provide RLIMIT_AS: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/sys/resource.h?rev=1.8;content-type=text%2Fplain even though RLIMIT_AS seems to be part of POSIX: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/getrlimit.html
I assume this is well known, so I just have two quick questions: 1) Is there a chance of having RLIMIT_AS be added in the future? I noticed that someone submitted a patch for that a few years ago but obviously it wasn't added: http://marc.info/?t=109182108400002&r=1&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=109190100529561&w=2 (alas I don't know enough about OpenBSD's internals to update that patch for the current version of OpenBSD). 2) I patched the software I was trying to compile to replace RLIMIT_AS with the sum of RLIMIT_DATA and RLIMIT_STACK. Is there a better way to approximate RLIMIT_AS? Thanks a lot, Philippe
