Is there a way to try to allocate a memory chunk and get an error if the memory is not instantly available?
calloc() seems like a good candidate as it touches the whole allocated memory immediately, however, I guess it will kill the process instead of returning NULL.
Any other options?
No replies. I assume there is no way to disable application being OOM-killed because of a large allocation.
