Will,

This test case is looking great, but needs some polishing.

What have you tested this on?

I'd like to see testing on atleast one 32-bit and one 64-bit
architecture.

Please add a comment to this test explaining what you're testing.

OK, should fail with ENOMEM.

OK.

OK.

Needs free (p) to be pedantically correct since the allocator
may have allocated something and we should try to return the
memory we allocated.

~~~

Similarly this needs a comment explaining what you're testing.

Should also fail with ENOMEM, but didn't we just test this?

The value of -pagesize is just going to be a little smaller than -1
when converted to the unsigned size_t.

Needs free (p).

~~~

Similarly this needs a comment explaining what you're testing.

OK, test for zero-sized allocation behaviour.

There is no guarantee that I am aware of that requires 
that a memalign of size 0 should succeed.

In fact it is equally valid to get a NULL or a unique
address you can pass to free so I don't see what you
can test easily.

If you are testing the existing implementation behaviour,
then that's good, and your comment should mention that.
This test would then alert us if we changed the behaviour.

> +  free (p);

OK.

~~~

Similarly this needs a comment explaining what you're testing.

OK.

Space after cast.

No implicit boolean coersion please.

Use `ptrval & 0xff != 0'

Please post a v2 for review.

The -pagesize case is interesting because it demonstrates the integer
overflow issue that I fixed previously. I'll add a comment about that.

Yes, that's the intent of the test. It's not mandated by any spec how
to behave on zero-sized allocation but essentially glibc has made the
choice to behave in a certain way and I don't believe we can now
change that.

I'll submit a v3 with the changes you requested, thanks!
