Re: malloc and realloc

I think what you're actually saying is not that allocations will
always succeed, but that they fail by shutting down your program (or
the OS?) rather than by properly returning a null pointer. Ick.

That's about the size of it.
I've outsourced all my computing to China, so when they run out of those
little wooden blocks they can always resort to grains of rice. Some of my
Chinamen can even write the Lord's Prayer on a rice grain.
However even they will ultimately run out of resources if, say, my program
is allocating in an infinite loop. The question is whether they say "sorry
no more rice" or send a messenger a few hours before saying "Sir, our rice
situation is getting desperate".
