Hi,
If I have a user application that tries a malloc() or a calloc() call,
and this call fails, is there any way to report this to a global stats
counter, like the ones in /proc/meminfo
Is there any way to find out that a malloc call made by a user program failed?
Kind Regards
James

No, because that is an internal thing to glibc.
