I have the following code:
#define BUFFSIZE 32 * 1024 * 1024
int main()
{
char *a;
a = (char *)malloc(BUFFSIZE);
if (fork()) {
// Parent
free(a);
} else {
// Child
}
}
The question is:
Is there a risk to run out of memory?
To put it in another way:
If I allocate 32Mb of memory in the parent process,
then I call fork(), the amount of memory needed for
both parent and child is 64Mb?
