hello,

in which way will linux allocate local memory with malloc ?
if the returned pointer is a near ponter to a space in local
data-segment, so I can't protect the block.

For instance,
        char *c,*ptr = (char *)malloc (2048);

if I write now this
        
        c = p+2049;
        *c = 123;

will a protection-violation follows or not ?

Greetings, Sebastian
