GLIB for a webserver

[Marcelo Elias Del Valle - SYSMAP SOLUTIONS - Claro MA-SP - <Marcelo Valle claro com br>]

Hello,

        I am planning to use glib to write a C application server. I just like the library philosophy a lot 
and thatâs why it is my first choice.
        However, after searching the web for a while, I have found some critics, which I list bellow:

- On Apache ARP project, they said they created it instead of using glib because the lack of IPC functions 
like memory mapping.
- In some forums, people were complaining about the fact glib aborts when memory allocation fails, which is 
bad for a 24/7 running web server.

        I would like to know the opinion of those more experienced with glib. Do you recommend me to use it 
for writing a web server?
        I really would like to use glib for that and I was thinking in some workaround to avoid this 
problems, like find some portable way to get the system's free memory before allocating anything and 
implement IPC functions using posix directly, even using glib thread pools for threads inside a process.
        Anyway, glib's first intention was to be used by visual applications, which is not the case. Would I 
be going against glib philosophy trying to use it for something like a web server?

Regards,
Marcelo.
