Description

« Hide

mmap() call returns MAP_FAILED (-1) in case of any error, including out of memory condition.
In alloc.cpp:external_alloc() value, returned by MMAP, is returned directly (except Solaris), no matter of the fact that caller expects NULL in case of allocation error, not -1. Therefore (void*)(-1) is used as a normally allocated memory block, definitely causing segfault at the moment of first use.
