5 * functions. These are functions that are not quite widely used
6 * enough to justify going in utils/palloc.h, but are still part
7 * of the API of the memory management subsystem.

24 * MaxAllocSize, MaxAllocHugeSize
25 * Quasi-arbitrary limits on size of allocations.
28 * There is no guarantee that smaller allocations will succeed, but
29 * larger requests will be summarily denied.
31 * palloc() enforces MaxAllocSize, chosen to correspond to the limiting size
32 * of varlena objects under TOAST. See VARSIZE_4B() and related macros in
33 * postgres.h. Many datatypes assume that any allocatable size can be
34 * represented in a varlena header. This limit also permits a caller to use
35 * an "int" variable for an index into or length of an allocation. Callers
36 * careful to avoid these hazards can access the higher limit with
37 * MemoryContextAllocHuge(). Both limits permit code to assume that it may
38 * compute twice an allocation's size without overflow.
