Entire code is actually quite big so can't post it here, although below is the loop
from where I took the fragment earlier. What this loop is doing is, its parsing a CSV file into tree structure
based on some logic. @Jim
I executed the command "ulimit -a" on both servers and below are the results:

Hi All,
In my application malloc is returning NULL even though there is sufficient amount of free memory is available but swap memory is low.
Is this possible that, if free memory is high & swap memory is low, malloc will not be able to allocate memory & return NULL ?:)

In a 'C' program,when I am trying to allocate memory with the help of malloc () function, it is allocating the memory up to a certain limit for e.g. in my case, it is 670 MB (approx). malloc() returns NULL if I allocate more than this amount of memory.When I tried

When I try to get the "echo" service port, getservbyname is returning null.
I checked - /etc/services having an entry for echo -

Any other config required to consider? (1 Reply)

malloc
MALLOC(3) Library Functions Manual MALLOC(3)NAME
malloc, free, realloc, calloc, alloca - memory allocator
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <alloca.h>
void *malloc(size_t size)
void free(void *ptr)
void *realloc(void *ptr, size_t size)
void *calloc(size_t nelem, size_t elsize)
void *alloca(size_t size)
DESCRIPTION
Malloc and free provide a general-purpose memory allocation package. Malloc returns a pointer to a block of at least size bytes beginning
on a word boundary.
The argument to free is a pointer to a block previously allocated by malloc; this space is made available for further allocation, but its
contents are left undisturbed. A call with a null ptr is legal and does nothing.
Needless to say, grave disorder will result if the space assigned by malloc is overrun or if some random number is handed to free.
Malloc maintains multiple lists of free blocks according to size, allocating space from the appropriate list. It calls sbrk (see brk(2))
to get more memory from the system when there is no suitable space already free.
Realloc changes the size of the block pointed to by ptr to size bytes and returns a pointer to the (possibly moved) block. The contents
will be unchanged up to the lesser of the new and old sizes. A call with a null ptr is legal and has the same result as malloc(size).
Calloc allocates space for an array of nelem elements of size elsize. The space is initialized to zeros.
Alloca allocates size bytes of space in the stack frame of the caller. This temporary space is automatically freed on return.
Each of the allocation routines returns a pointer to space suitably aligned (after possible pointer coercion) for storage of any type of
object.
SEE ALSO brk(2).
DIAGNOSTICS
Malloc, realloc and calloc return a null pointer if there is no available memory or if the arena has been detectably corrupted by storing
outside the bounds of a block.
NOTES
Other implementations of malloc, realloc or calloc may return a null pointer if the size of the requested block is zero. This implementa-
tion will always return a zero length block at a unique address, but you should keep in mind that a null return is possible if the program
is run to another system and that this should not be mistakenly seen as an error.
BUGS
When realloc returns a null pointer, the block pointed to by ptr may be destroyed.
Alloca is machine dependent; its use is discouraged.
