 * MaxAllocSize, MaxAllocHugeSize
 *		Quasi-arbitrary limits on size of allocations.
 *
 * Note:
 *		There is no guarantee that smaller allocations will succeed, but
 *		larger requests will be summarily denied.
 *
 * palloc() enforces MaxAllocSize, chosen to correspond to the limiting size
 * of varlena objects under TOAST.  See VARSIZE_4B() and related macros in
 * postgres.h.  Many datatypes assume that any allocatable size can be
 * represented in a varlena header.  This limit also permits a caller to use
 * an "int" variable for an index into or length of an allocation.  Callers
 * careful to avoid these hazards can access the higher limit with
 * MemoryContextAllocHuge().  Both limits permit code to assume that it may
 * compute twice an allocation's size without overflow.

 * The test is divided into multiple cases for safety reason and multiple

 * Case 1: len < sizeof(size_t) bytes, then byte-by-byte comparison.
 * Case 2: len < (sizeof(size_t) * 8 - 1) bytes:
 *       - Phase 1: byte-by-byte comparison, until the pointer is aligned.
 *       - Phase 2: size_t comparisons, with aligned pointers, up to the last
 *                  location possible.
 *       - Phase 3: byte-by-byte comparison, until the end location.
 * Case 3: len >= (sizeof(size_t) * 8) bytes, same as case 2 except that an
 *         additional phase is placed between Phase 1 and Phase 2, with
 *         (8 * sizeof(size_t)) comparisons using bitwise OR to encourage
 *         compilers to use SIMD instructions if available, up to the last
 *         aligned location possible.
 *
 * Case 1 and Case 2 are mandatory to ensure that we won't read beyond the
 * memory area.  This is portable for 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
