Subject: Better Out of Memory handling.
X-Git-Url: https://git.saurik.com/redis.git/commitdiff_plain/5de75120ba637d6193e02d99faea3f8071ac914b?hp=5de75120ba637d6193e02d99faea3f8071ac914b

Better Out of Memory handling.

The previous implementation of zmalloc.c was not able to handle out of
memory in an application-specific way. It just logged an error on
standard error, and aborted.

The result was that in the case of an actual out of memory in Redis
where malloc returned NULL (In Linux this actually happens under
specific overcommit policy settings and/or with no or little swap
configured) the error was not properly logged in the Redis log.

This commit fixes this problem, fixing issue #509.
Now the out of memory is properly reported in the Redis log and a stack
trace is generated.

The approach used is to provide a configurable out of memory handler
to zmalloc (otherwise the default one logging the event on the
standard output is used).
