Subject: Re: [EXPERIMENTAL PATCH] Make NT heap death more informative.
Have you had any feedback on this? I'd like to include it
in 21.1.12. - vin
Sorry - I haven't had any response from anyone with a
system that breaks. My own informal tests, passing bad
parameters to the GetModuleHandle() function, indicate
that it will fail rather than crashing when passed
addresses that aren't module base addresses, so the patch
*should* be safe (it will just say "<unknown>" if the
allocation blocking the heap is not an executable image).
*I* think it's probably safe enough to go in, but after
breaking selections for everyone on X (and actually on
Windows as well - only less so), I'm a little wary of
my gaining a reputation for submitting patches that
break things ;-)
Kind regards,
Alastair.
