There might be an architecture out there, where malloc() creates a new memory segment, free() invalidates it, and merely loading an invalid pointer into a register causes a hardware trap. It may not even be possible to load a pointer into an integer register to test it against NULL. I'm not aware of any architecture that does this, however, I think this is exactly how 80286 and later behave in protected mode, if malloc() allocated fresh segments. |
