In this case,
the parent process operates child's memory by using VirtualAlloc().
If VirtualAlloc failed and be a FATAL error, master process will be stopped.
I think that is not preferable.
So, when VirtualAlloc failed, parent reports error and terminates child.
Revised patch
- move function declaration to include/port/win32.h
- add error check.
when VirtualAlloc failed, parent will terminate child process.
Thanks.
