Subject: [Bug libc/1349] New: malloc_usable_size() incorrect when MALLOC_CHECK_>0
Date: Sat, 17 Sep 2005 18:09:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050917180908.1349.jkearney@endeca.com> (raw)

When MALLOC_CHECK_>0, an extra byte is added to each allocation for checking. 
malloc_usable_size() doesn't take this extra byte off the return value in this
case.  Try the following with MALLOC_CHECK_=2:

    void* p = malloc(7);
    size_t usable = malloc_usable_size(p);
    memset(p, 0, usable);
    p = realloc(p, 7);
