Thanks for the suggestion.

Kindly bear with me for the following question.

I am just learning C at present. So I may not need SIZE_MAX memory for
testing purpose now.
However, in real world applications ie in Job envorinment(I am
preparing for interview/skill test, etc), will they have more than 4GB
of RAM in order to test such code ?

I doubt it very much. Most code shops have pretty run-of-the-mill
collections of PCs, with as little RAM as they think they can get away
with.

I do not understand this. Kindly explain. Does it mean that in real
world applications SIZE_MAX memory won't be asked from malloc/realloc
or there won't be 4GB of input file for testing ?

malloc/realloc have size_t as parameter type which is unsgined int.
So, doesn't it mean that there may be requirement for 4GB of dynamic
memory ?

Please don't be annoyed with my questions because I am learning C
sitting at home, reading books, working in my PC and newgroups is the
only help for me that can solve my doubts.
