 NAME
ne_malloc, ne_calloc, ne_realloc, ne_strdup, ne_strndup, ne_oom_callback - memory allocation wrappers
 SYNOPSIS
 
#include <ne_alloc.h>
 
void *ne_malloc(size_t 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.
