POSIX specification: @url{http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/malloc.html}

|
|
Gnulib module: malloc-posix
|
|
|
|
Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
|
|
@itemize
|
|
@item
|
|
Upon failure, the function does not set @code{errno} to @code{ENOMEM} on
|
|
some platforms:
|
|
mingw.
|
|
@end itemize
|
|
|
|
Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
|
|
@itemize
|
|
@code{malloc (0)} always returns a NULL pointer on some platforms:
|
|
AIX 5.1, OSF/1 5.1.
|
|
@end itemize
|
|
|
|
Extension: Gnulib provides a module @samp{malloc} that substitutes a
|
|
@code{malloc} implementation that behaves more like the glibc implementation,
|
|
regarding the result of @code{malloc (0)}.
