cout<<"\nRLIMIT_AS: ";
cout<<"\n\tResult: "<<result;

if(b1 != NULL)
cout<<"Memory allocated\n";
else
cout<<"Memory allocation failed for the first time\n";
free(a1);
free(b1);
return 0;
}
Expected Output:
Memory allocated
RLIMIT_AS:
0
8
8
Memory allocation failed for the first time
Observed o/p:
Memory allocated
RLIMIT_AS:
0
8
8
Memory allocated
Why this discrepancy???
Why the second time malloc didnt fail?
