S must be positive and N must be nonnegative. This is a macro, not an inline function, so that it works correctly even when SIZE_MAX < N. By gnulib convention, SIZE_MAX represents overflow in size calculations, so the conservative dividend to use here is SIZE_MAX - 1, since SIZE_MAX might represent an overflowed value. However, malloc (SIZE_MAX) fails on all known hosts where sizeof (ptrdiff_t) <= sizeof (size_t), so do not bother to test for exactly-SIZE_MAX allocations on such hosts; this avoids a test and branch when S is known to be 1. This is the same as xalloc_oversized from xalloc.h */ #define safe_alloc_oversized(n, s) \ ((size_t) (sizeof (ptrdiff_t) <= sizeof (size_t) ? -1 : -2) / (s) < (n)) /** * safe_alloc_alloc_n: * @ptrptr: pointer to pointer for address of allocated memory * @size: number of bytes to allocate * @count: number of elements to allocate * * Allocate an array of memory 'count' elements long, * each with 'size' bytes.
