Dnmalloc problem on 64bit AIX (possibly other 64bit systems)

Description

Dnmalloc isn't stable on 64bit AIX (and maybe other 64bit system). Upon closer inspection, wordsize seems to be defined in two places, and only one of them takes 32/64bit into account...

Changeset [187] fixes a problem with inconsistent defnitions of minimum chunksize on 64bit systems. Can't test on 64bit AIX, don't know whether this will fix the issue.

Changeset [228] fixes one more problem (dereferenced NULL pointer) on 64bit architectures, or in fact all architectures where mmap must be used instead of sbrk.

comment:3 by rainer, 16 years ago

On 64bit AIX, samhain must be compiled either as 32bit application, or with --disable-dnmalloc, since there's no way to enforce mmapping into 32bit address space.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Updated documentation in changeset [233] to point out the AIX problem.
