> Deltas for counts in NMT differential reports are shown as signed int, restricting them to +-2g. These counts are number of malloc blocks, or number of classes, or number of threads. In all cases number of physically existing somethings.

> On large 64-bit machines they can conceivably overflow. Well, at least the malloc block counters. Granted, mallocing even just >2g number of 1 byte blocks costs about 40-50GB due to overhead in libc and NMT (on glibc). But it is conceivable.

> Note that I don't worry about overflowing SSIZE_MIN or SSIZE_MAX here. That would be ridiculous: we just cannot have that many physically existing things. Not on 64bit, not even on 32-bit where ssize_t is int, since in both cases the address space would be the limit. So, if the counters are that large, we have a different problem (probably counter overflow), and so we assert, resp. in release, ignore it.

Thomas Stuefe has updated the pull request incrementally with one additional commit since the last revision:

  work around Windows weirdness where we cannot print INT_MIN (-2147483648)
