Ken Giusti resolved DISPATCH-1685. ---------------------------------- Fix Version/s: 1.13.0 Resolution: Fixed > Provide heap memory allocation wrappers that call abort() on failure to > allocate > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DISPATCH-1685 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISPATCH-1685 > Project: Qpid Dispatch > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Ken Giusti > Assignee: Ken Giusti > Priority: Major > Fix For: 1.13.0 > > > The dispatch router allocates heap memory using the malloc API. In many > cases should a call to malloc fail to return the requested memory the router > cannot recover. In fact there are many places in the code where the return > value from a heap allocation call is not even checked for NULL. > This feature would provide a set of wrapper functions for all heap allocation > operations used by the router. These wrapper functions will unconditionally > invoke abort() on heap allocation failure. Note that these are not > conditionally compiled out when NDEBUG is defined - abort() is called > regardless of build type. > The intent is to use these wrapper functions wherever a heap allocation > failure is not recoverable. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@qpid.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@qpid.apache.org
