As of Oct 2007, that internal stream- # related failure was not reflected (for any libc I know of) in the usual # stream error indicator that is tested by ferror. The result was that # while the printf command obviously failed (generated no output), # it mistakenly exited successfully (exit status of 0). # Testing it is tricky, because there is so much variance # in quality for this corner of printf(3) implementations. # Most implementations do attempt to allocate N bytes of storage. # Using the maximum value for N (2^31-1) causes glibc to try to # allocate almost 2^64 bytes, while freeBSD 6.1's implementation # correctly outputs almost 2GB worth of 0's, which takes too long. # We want to test implementations that allocate N bytes, but without # triggering the above extremes. # The compromise is to limit virtual memory to something reasonable, # and to make an N-byte-allocating-printf require more than that, thus # triggering the printf(3) misbehavior -- which, btw, is required by ISO C99.
