Nope. The function malloc() in C accepts unsigned integers, so negative numbers should allocate memory, too. --None1 (Nope.) 07:21, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

malloc -1 would result in allocating $2^{64}-1$ chars on a 64-bit platform so this is a very funny prank to use on your friends (if malloc succeeds) 【user:raiseafloppafan7741 | kausapin mo ako【past life・投稿】【▼(°ʌ°)▼】【Fight for what HTML deserves.】】 14:03, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

Currently, no computer has that much memory. --None1 (Nope.) 11:21, 1 September 2026 (UTC)
