ne_malloc(3)                  neon API reference                  ne_malloc(3)




NAME

       ne_malloc, ne_calloc, ne_realloc, ne_strdup, ne_strndup,
       ne_oom_callback - memory allocation wrappers


SYNOPSIS

       #include <ne_alloc.h>

       ne_malloc(3) size);

       void *ne_calloc(size_t size);

       void *ne_realloc(void *size, size_t len);

       char *ne_strdup(const char *s);

       char *ne_strndup(const char *s, size_t size);

       void ne_oom_callback(void (*callback)(void));


DESCRIPTION

       The functions ne_malloc, ne_calloc, ne_realloc, ne_strdup and
       ne_strdnup provide wrappers for the equivalent functions in the
       standard C library. The wrappers provide the extra guarantee that if
       the C library equivalent returns NULL when no memory is available, an
       optional callback will be called, and the library will then call
       abort().

       ne_oom_callback registers a callback which will be invoked if an out of
       memory error is detected.


NOTES

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