Hello, I wrote a program in gcc. I compile it with the option -m64. Is there a limit in how much memory malloc can allocate? I run the program for different values of some input parameters. The program defines some scalar variables and arrays. Then it defines a large array and tries to set a value in an element of the array. int **bufferc = malloc((inp_par_a*inp_par_b+2)*sizeof(int *)); int *bufferc_aux = malloc((inp_par_a*inp_par_b+2)*(inp_par_c+1)*sizeof(int)); int bfc=1; bufferc[bfc]=bufferc_aux+bfc*(inp_par_c+1); bufferc[bfc][0]=0; At this point sometimes there is no problem but sometimes I get segmentation fault. There is a lot of unused ram in the server when the problem occurs. Do you think the problem is due to a bug that I have before defining the array? Thanks, Anna
