malloc() failure counter

[James Courtier-Dutton]

Hi,

If I have a user application that tries a malloc() or a calloc() call,
and this call fails, is there any way to report this to a global stats
counter, like the ones in /proc/meminfo
Is there any way to find out that a malloc call made by a user program failed?

Kind Regards

James
