Subject: [PATCH] bench-malloc-thread.c: add assert that malloc() is never out of memory
Date: Fri, 2 Jul 2021 21:58:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210703045845.1610215-1-ercaguy@gmail.com> (raw)
...so we get realistic speed tests. Also add units to the results
variables. And Replace tabs w/spaces for consistency, since the file
was mixed format.
