The way `mi_is_in_heap_region` is implemented right now (see [this](https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc/blob/master/src/free.c#L112) code) it is possible to 'miss' certain huge allocations going through `mi_cfree`. So we either need to update the segment detection code (so that it is not limited to [e.g. 2GiB on 32-bit platforms](https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc/blob/master/src/segment-map.c#L24)) or use the more expensive `mi_check_owned` check if we've failed the simpler heap check.

Ah, looks like the 32-bit 'address-too-high' issue has been fixed somewhat recently - a964322 So perhaps this issue is no more. We've seen cases where on 32-bit platforms with really big allocations sometimes we'd get a segment address bigger than 2GiB and then that segment couldn't be 'found'. I'll leave it to you to decide whether that commit fixes the issue or not, feel free to close this PR if it does. 👍 |
