<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi Team,<div><br></div><div>We have a number of nifs that make use of enif_alloc and enif_free (as well as other calls such as erl_mk_tuple, erl_free_compound). The nifs also include a third party library that makes regular calls to malloc and free.</div><div><br></div><div>We have had a number of fairly rare core files (e.g. abort in free) from the third party library.</div><div><br></div><div>The question is is it safe to mix and match the Erlang memory allocation/deallocation NIF libraries with the standard Linux calls to free and malloc?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div><div>Matt</div> </div></body>
