Re: i370 port - music/sp - possible generic gcc problem
Anyway, I tracked down the particular malloc() which gave changed
behaviour depending on whether the malloc() did a memory initialization
to NULs or not.
Well, GC hands out non-zeroed memory - the callers are responsible
for initializing it. So the fix below is not a fix but papering over an
issue elswhere.
Hi Richard.
If GC does that, then how come there is all this effort to do
mmap testing to see if it has the facility to zero memory, and
why is the surrounding code (in GCC 4.4's alloc_page())
calling XCNEWVEC instead of XNEWVEC?
Thanks. Paul.
