[asterisk-dev] policy change for correct handling of fatal program conditions

[SF Markus Elfring]

Hello,

The bug report "add checks for calloc calls" 
(http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=8295) results in a opportunity to 
think again about the used approaches for error handling. Your current 
policy seems to be wrong.
Fatal program conditions like the one that arose from a failed memory 
allocation should not be ignored. How do you think about a correction 
for this issue?

If you are concerned about the service quality for call management by 
your server implementation, I suggest to use alternative means to 
achieve the desired goals and to reduce unplanned downtimes.
