the following patch was just integrated into master: commit 32c4db41bfa7a53adfbfcc2a4f1d4baf124c70fc Author: Ronald G. Minnich rminnich@chromium.org Date: Thu May 31 16:02:26 2012 -0700
Make memalign print useful messages on failure
Brevity is the soul of wit, except for error messages; then it's a sign of witlessness. I can say this because this error message may be my fault, although it is lost in the 20th century code base so who knows.
Anyway, when memalign dies, it's not a bad idea to have a lot of information about what went wrong. So instead of the terse single bit of "something failed" this patch changes things to be a bit more useful.
