A question for you, Anon.

If you watch at malloc() manpage you can notice that the function may return NULL in some cases (i.e. errors or 0-sized allocation). How do you face this issue?

I noticed that many programmers check the return value and manage error routines for it, while other just assert() the return value not to be NULL.

Also in C++ by the way you use the new operator without taking care about the return value (I guess it's asserted to be not NULL under the hood, is it?)

What is your opinion?

p10 even denying alloca? Man, that's rough. Are you allowed to do any IO? Although, I admit I wouldn't want to fly on an Airbus that had a flight control system wihtout real time constraints.
