Which OSes have you used that do that? In Linux you can do that -- disable overcommit (although I'm not sure if that's 100% foolproof). But that's often not preferred because that way does lead to "perfectly innocent" processes being killed: whoever allocates the next page when memory has run out loses. And how do they get to decide? What if a failure path requires paging in one more page of code from disk? Or causes a store to a COW page? |
