Function Documentation

mycalloc()

void* mycalloc	(	const char *	file,
		int	line,
		unsigned long	size,
		size_t	typesize
	)

Wrapper for calloc() which warns when allocation fails.

This is a wrapper function around calloc from <stdlib.h>. It tries to allocate the requested memory and checks if the memory was correctly allocated. If not, an error is printed using err(), which describes the file and linenumber and size failed to allocate. After this, the program exits. See also the defines in gensvm_memory.h.

Note

This function should not be used directly. Calloc() should be used.

Parameters

[in]	file	filename used for error printing
[in]	line	line number used for error printing
[in]	size	the size to allocate
[in]	typesize	the size of the type to allocate

Returns

the pointer to the memory allocated

Definition at line 48 of file gensvm_memory.c.

mymalloc()

void* mymalloc	(	const char *	file,
		int	line,
		unsigned long	size
	)

Wrapper for malloc() which warns when allocation fails.

This is a wrapper function around malloc from <stdlib.h>. It tries to allocate the requested memory and checks if the memory was correctly allocated. If not, an error is printed using err(), which describes the file and linenumber and size failed to allocate. After this, the program exits. See also the defines in gensvm_memory.h.

Note

This function should not be used directly. Malloc() should be used.

Parameters

[in]	file	filename used for error printing
[in]	line	line number used for error printing
[in]	size	the size to allocate

Returns

the pointer to the memory allocated

Definition at line 81 of file gensvm_memory.c.

myrealloc()

void* myrealloc	(	const char *	file,
		int	line,
		unsigned long	size,
		void *	var
	)

Wrapper for realloc() which warns when allocation fails.

This is a wrapper function around realloc from <stdlib.h>. It tries to reallocate the requested memory and checks if the memory was correctly reallocated. If not, an error is printed using err(), which describes the file and linenumber and size failed to reallocate. After this, the program exits. See also the defines in gensvm_memory.h.

Note

This function should not be used directly. Realloc() should be used.

Parameters

[in]	file	filename used for error printing
[in]	line	line number used for error printing
[in]	size	the size to allocate
[in]	var	the pointer to the memory to reallocate

Returns

the pointer to the memory reallocated
