VM out of memory errors should be handled gracefully

Open VincentBlondeau opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

When the image is out of memory due to the limitation set in the option, the VM triggers first a "Low memory" signal to the image. Then, if the signal is not considered, the VM just abort abruptively with: [ERROR] 2021-02-21 19:18:10.000 error (src/debug.c:41):out of memory (see #176). And a windows dump file is generated.

I was hoping that the image quit it self with grace and do not generated any application error.

@VincentBlondeau can you test this, the latest VM should have an improvement in this.
