Detailed Description

Basic wrappers for the C library's dynamic allocation functions.

This system is mostly used to produce visual warnings when something goes awry. The caller should still be expected to handle failures gracefully.

Define Documentation

#define gi_free (  ptr   )     free(ptr)

Dummy wrapper for free for symmetry.

Function Documentation

LIBGIFT_EXPORT void* gi_calloc (  size_t  nmemb, size_t  size )

Wrapper for calloc which produces warnings when nmemb=0 or size=0.

EXTERN_C_BEGIN LIBGIFT_EXPORT void* gi_malloc (  size_t  size  )

Wrapper for malloc which produces warnings when size=0 and when the allocation fails.

LIBGIFT_EXPORT void* gi_realloc (  void *  ptr, size_t  size )

Wrapper for realloc with similar consequences as gi_malloc.
