Subject: bug#24892: {s, }brk removed from FreeBSD 11.x and later, arm64 architecture
Date: Wed, 09 Nov 2016 19:22:45 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1c4d8f-0005Jj-3Q@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <60ed9038-cca2-e772-fbd3-ae31ca38e3d0@cs.ucla.edu> (message from Paul Eggert on Tue, 8 Nov 2016 13:41:40 -0800)

[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider    ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,     ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]

The point of memory-limit was to enable features useful for users.
If memory-limit doesn't work any more, those features don't either.

What exactly were those features?  What problems did they help
users deal with?

Are they completely unnecessary now?  If not, can we make them
function again?  Or provide other features to deal with the same
problems?
