[Solved] patch: assert memory allocation results
Added by volkere almost 9 years ago
hi,
i tried posting this to the mailing list the other day but it seems that list is not active (?)
a while back colleagues encountered a problem with lighttpd 1.4.34 (i believe), where it wouldn't server any HTTPS connections any more and from hearsay there was suspicion for the reason to be a failed (m)alloc somewhere. it wasn't easily reproducible but i figured as a first line of defence it would be a very cheap thing to assert on all memory allocations, to detect that kind of problem.
the patch was rebased against the tip of the 1.4.x branch and i hope it might be useful to someone (or applied to the repo...)
