Subject: [musl] [PATCH] mallocng/aligned_alloc: check for malloc failure
Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2021 18:26:04 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <07fe83ac-9893-bff0-3c15-4d431815684d@gmail.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 221 bytes --]

With mallocng, calling posix_memalign() or aligned_alloc() will SIGSEGV 
if the internal malloc() call returns NULL. This does not occur with 
oldmalloc, which explicitly checks for allocation failure.

Thanks,

Dominic
