This is a heads-up for a proposed incompatible change to a rarely-used
Emacs function. In Bug#24892 I propose declaring Emacs's memory-limit
function to be obsolete, and changing it to be a placeholder that
returns 0 everywhere (instead of its current practice of returning 0 on
some platforms and nonzero values on others). The memory-limit function
has been returning misleading or wrong information for years and as far
as I know doesn't see significant use.
For details please see:

and please reply to 24892@debbugs.gnu.org.
