[Bug libc/5711] New: mallinfo structure cannot hold 64 bit data

- Reply-to: sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org
The mallinfo structure consists of int values. As documented in the source, it cannot hold 64 bit values,
and the information may be incorrect. This is especially a problem on recent x86_64 machines with more
than 4 GB of memory.
It may be possible to define a new data structure which holds size_t instead of int values. It may be
possible to correct some shortcomings of the mallinfo structure at the same time.
