67 By gnulib convention, SIZE_MAX represents overflow in size
68 calculations, so the conservative dividend to use here is
69 SIZE_MAX - 1, since SIZE_MAX might represent an overflowed value.
70 However, malloc (SIZE_MAX) fails on all known hosts where
71 sizeof (ptrdiff_t) <= sizeof (size_t), so do not bother to test for
72 exactly-SIZE_MAX allocations on such hosts; this avoids a test and
