Hello Cem,
Le 10 avr. 08 à 13:43, Army Research Lab a écrit :
I noticed the message below from David, and it occurred to me that
this
might be something to build into libgmalloc. I looked around on
Apple's
site for the sources, and then out on the web in general, but I
didn't find
them; are they Apple proprietary, or am I just blind?
I could release my libfailmalloc ... but even I get my application
resist against allocation failure, Apple's frameworks (OpenGL,
QuickTime, CoreVideo, ...) are not "memory allocation problem" safe.
I stream video decoded with QuickTime to the GPU and I have crash in
QuickTime codec or in OpenGL driver (texture management part)...
So for my application, the only solution is to not come close the 2GB
limit (for a 32 bit app). If I detect an allocation failure, I
immediately try to free as much memory as possible but it does not
prevent crash.
If someone wants to test my libfailmalloc, just ask me for a copy.
Best regards.
