11 Libbson contains a lightweight memory abstraction to make portability
12 to new platforms easier. Additionally, it helps us integrate with in‐
13 teresting higher-level languages. One caveat, however, is that Libbson
14 is not designed to deal with Out of Memory (OOM) situations. Doing so
15 requires extreme diligence throughout the application stack that has
16 rarely been implemented correctly. This may change in the future. As it
17 stands now, Libbson will abort() under OOM situations.
18
19 To aid in language binding integration, Libbson allows for setting a
20 custom memory allocator via bson_mem_set_vtable(). This allocation may
21 be reversed via bson_mem_restore_vtable().
