62    works correctly even when SIZE_MAX < N.
63 
64    By gnulib convention, SIZE_MAX represents overflow in size
65    calculations, so the conservative dividend to use here is
66    SIZE_MAX - 1, since SIZE_MAX might represent an overflowed value.
67    However, malloc (SIZE_MAX) fails on all known hosts where
68    sizeof (ptrdiff_t) <= sizeof (size_t), so do not bother to test for
69    exactly-SIZE_MAX allocations on such hosts; this avoids a test and
70    branch when S is known to be 1.  */
