As I have understand, Linux returns ALWAYS success when using malloc(), because only reason why malloc() would fail, is memory overrun, and this will never happen in malloc().
So my question is: is there any point in checking whether malloc() returned NULL (failure) or success? Should i just start using the memory without checking if the pointer is NULL?
