## Summary Memory allocation for cmdline in the rtl on MacOS is inconsistent and can lead to crashes ## System Information MacOS 14.7 ## Problem description rtl/inc/systemh.inc initialises cmdline to nil with var CmdLine:Pchar=nil; rtl/bsd/system.pp calls reallocmem(cmdline, ...) rtl/inc/system.inc calls sysfreemem(cmdline) The calls to reallocmem and sysfreemem are inconsistent and this will lead to a crash (in sysfreemem) at program exit, if e.g. the memory manager at the time of realloc is the C memory manager. ## Possible fixes * call sysreallocmem(cmdline, ...) in rtl/bsd/system.pp rather than reallocmem(cmdline, ...) * check to see if sysmem calls are used on other platforms for the (global) cmdline variable
