From 2c5199bb049efe8e29cd12461dc57bd6e30388e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Huber Date: Wed, 5 May 2021 08:49:52 +0200 Subject: Return NULL for zero size allocations In POSIX, zero size memory allocations are implementation-defined behaviour. The implementation has two options: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/malloc.html https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/posix_memalign.html Linux and FreeBSD return a unique pointer for zero size memory allocations. Return NULL on RTEMS to more likely catch the use of a zero size memory area by erroneous applications.
