I am having a problem with virtual memory allocation in a program. It seems to occur at memory intensive points during execution. The following line of code mallocs some memory (numPts = 3708, so 14,832 bytes): line = (int*)malloc((numPts)*sizeof(int)); I get an error message from malloc - failed on vm_allocate but it still returns a value for the pointer (not NULL) (gdb) p line $4 = (port_name_array_t) 0x294c000 Then later, I try to access this memory space, and of course, I get a segmentation fault. Program received signal 11, Segmentation fault I have used the vm_statistics() function to print out available memory, and it appears I still have some. Anyone have any suggestions ?
