site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev@lists.apple.com Organization: Rogue Research 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.
