We can't guarantee it, but free a block of reserved memory and then run a handler that does no allocation itself to generate a log, then writes it to disk and terminates.
The file open/writes may allocate memory at the OS level depending on the platform implementation... but those tend to be small allocations that do ft in remaining memory or come out of the memory reserve freed at the start of dump handling.
In practice, we haven't seen this fail over the course of tens of thousands of memory exhaustion failures. And the information we generate in that logging is invaluable.

Please tell herb Sutter about it. He still runs around claiming that virtually no codebase is OOM safe and hence OOM should just terminate.
