Hi all,
Sometimes I see messages like:
malloc: *** mmap(size=16883712) failed (error code=12)
*** error: can't allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
I'm trying to find more details about this message. Specifically, what
is error code 12?
In my case, it is a 32 bit process using 60 MB of 'real memory' and 1.2
GB of 'virtual memory' (says Activity Monitor).
I'm trying to determine if 1) the process' virtual memory is just really
fragmented and it really can't allocate 16.8 MB, or 2) I have some kind
of memory smasher or other bug.
Thanks,
--
