Abstract

Methods for handling zero-length allocations are disclosed. An example of such a method may include returning a self-describing/diagnosing dynamic address that has all the properties required for a secure implementation. Another example may include returning a series of different addresses (instead of a single address per process) to improve supportability. Yet another example may include maintaining diagnostic information about the original allocation for ease of problem resolution.
