27  * Note:
28  * There is no guarantee that smaller allocations will succeed, but
29  * larger requests will be summarily denied.
30  *
31  * palloc() enforces MaxAllocSize, chosen to correspond to the limiting size
32  * of varlena objects under TOAST. See VARSIZE_4B() and related macros in
33  * postgres.h. Many datatypes assume that any allocatable size can be
34  * represented in a varlena header. This limit also permits a caller to use
35  * an "int" variable for an index into or length of an allocation. Callers
36  * careful to avoid these hazards can access the higher limit with
37  * MemoryContextAllocHuge(). Both limits permit code to assume that it may
38  * compute twice an allocation's size without overflow.
