NAME

6       ne_malloc, ne_calloc, ne_realloc, ne_strdup, ne_strndup,
7       ne_oom_callback - memory allocation wrappers
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <ne_alloc.h>
11
12       void *ne_malloc(size_t size);
13
14       void *ne_calloc(size_t size);
15
16       void *ne_realloc(void *size, size_t len);
17
18       char *ne_strdup(const char *s);
19
20       char *ne_strndup(const char *s, size_t size);
21
22       void ne_oom_callback(void (*callback)(void));
23

DESCRIPTION

25       The functions ne_malloc, ne_calloc, ne_realloc, ne_strdup and
26       ne_strdnup provide wrappers for the equivalent functions in the
27       standard C library. The wrappers provide the extra guarantee that if
28       the C library equivalent returns NULL when no memory is available, an
29       optional callback will be called, and the library will then call
30       abort().
31
32       ne_oom_callback registers a callback which will be invoked if an out of
33       memory error is detected.
34

NOTES

36       If the operating system uses optimistic memory allocation, the C
37       library memory allocation routines will not return NULL, so it is not
38       possible to gracefully handle memory allocation failures.
