calloc has an integer-overflow bug #150

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The main reason for anyone to use the calloc function is so that they can avoid 
integer-overflow bugs without having to duplicate the ‘will this 
multiplication overflow?’ check all over the place.  But calloc doesn't 
prevent integer-overflow bugs.
