* Report fatal error in the case of out of memorySerge Pavlov2018-02-201-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the second part of recommit of r325224. The previous part was committed in r325426, which deals with C++ memory allocation. Solution for C memory allocation involved functions `llvm::malloc` and similar. This was a fragile solution because it caused ambiguity errors in some cases. In this commit the new functions have names like `llvm::safe_malloc`. The relevant part of original comment is below, updated for new function names. Analysis of fails in the case of out of memory errors can be tricky on Windows. Such error emerges at the point where memory allocation function fails, but manifests itself when null pointer is used. These two points may be distant from each other. Besides, next runs may not exhibit allocation error. In some cases memory is allocated by a call to some of C allocation functions, malloc, calloc and realloc. They are used for interoperability with C code, when allocated object has variable size and when it is necessary to avoid call of constructors. In many calls the result is not checked for null pointer. To simplify checks, new functions are defined in the namespace 'llvm': `safe_malloc`, `safe_calloc` and `safe_realloc`. They behave as corresponding standard functions but produce fatal error if allocation fails. This change replaces the standard functions like 'malloc' in the cases when the result of the allocation function is not checked for null pointer. Finally, there are plain C code, that uses malloc and similar functions. If the result is not checked, assert statement is added.

* Report fatal error in the case of out of memorySerge Pavlov2018-02-151-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Analysis of fails in the case of out of memory errors can be tricky on Windows. Such error emerges at the point where memory allocation function fails, but manifests itself when null pointer is used. These two points may be distant from each other. Besides, next runs may not exhibit allocation error. Usual programming practice does not require checking result of 'operator new' because it throws 'std::bad_alloc' in the case of allocation error. However, LLVM is usually built with exceptions turned off, so 'new' can return null pointer. This change installs custom new handler, which causes fatal error in the case of out of memory. The handler is installed automatically prior to call to 'main' during construction of a static object defined in 'lib/Support/ErrorHandling.cpp'. If the application does not use this file, the handler may be installed manually by a call to 'llvm::install_out_of_memory_new_handler', declared in 'include/llvm/Support/ErrorHandling.h". There are calls to C allocation functions, malloc, calloc and realloc. They are used for interoperability with C code, when allocated object has variable size and when it is necessary to avoid call of constructors. In many calls the result is not checked against null pointer. To simplify checks, new functions are defined in the namespace 'llvm' with the same names as these C function. These functions produce fatal error if allocation fails. User should use 'llvm::malloc' instead of 'std::malloc' in order to use the safe variant. This change replaces 'std::malloc' in the cases when the result of allocation function is not checked against null pointer. Finally, there are plain C code, that uses malloc and similar functions. If the result is not checked, assert statements are added. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D43010 llvm-svn: 325224
