> So, this issue with v3.10 (master) appeared to me as a regression. I understand that from your point of view it appears as a regression. However, quoting the C standard, 7.20.3 Memory management functions: "The pointer returned points to the start (lowest byte address) of the allocated space.

I understand that from your point of view it appears as a regression.

However, quoting the C standard, 7.20.3 Memory management functions:

"The pointer returned points to the start (lowest byte
address) of the allocated space. If the space cannot be allocated, a null pointer is
returned."


So, for a system that is not currently officially supported, I don't
consider it my problem if AIX thinks the space can be allocated.

But as I said, I can disable that test on AIX.  If I get AIX access,
I can look at this more.
