Jump to PostThat depends entirely on the OS and the compiler vendor.
I'm pretty sure that old Turbo Pascals will properly crash if you try to overflow the heap. Delphi will raise an exception. For other vendors, particularly on OSes other than Windows, your results may vary.
Hope this helps.

Jump to PostFPC will generate exceptions for them. Check FPC's documentation for runtime errors.
Good luck!
