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.
