Description

Investigating the "Total number of failed allocations:" from the wkspace cmd i see that;

/* Statistics */
++stats->failed_allocs;

Are incremented when _Heap_Allocate_aligned_with_boundary fails, however it seems this will routinely fail due to;

_Heap_Protection_free_all_delayed_blocks seemingly on purpose creating an impossibly large allocation.

uintptr_t large = 0

  • (uintptr_t) HEAP_BLOCK_HEADER_SIZE
  • (uintptr_t) HEAP_ALLOC_BONUS
  • (uintptr_t) 1;

void *p = _Heap_Allocate( heap, large );

This makes it difficult to place a breakpoint on failed_allocs to investigate true low memory situations with heap protection enabled.
