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>

       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, size_t size);

       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 pos-
       sible to gracefully handle memory allocation failures.
