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.
