void *	malloc2_plus (size_t size, const char *file, unsigned int line, const char *func)
void	free2_plus (void *mem, const char *file, unsigned int line, const char *func)
void	free_v2 (void **mem)

Detailed Description

 MEMORY MANAGEMENT

 malloc2/3() errors should end the program whereas free2/3() errors should not

 Plus, need to refactor all this -> confusing and too many different funcs

Function Documentation

malloc2_plus()

void * malloc2_plus	(	size_t	size,
		const char *	file,
		unsigned int	line,
		const char *	func
	)

This is experimental - invoked by malloc3() macro

Test with malloc3((size_t)1024 * (size_t)(1024 * 1024 * 1024)), ie requiring 1 TiB of mem

free2_plus()

void free2_plus	(	void *	mem,
		const char *	file,
		unsigned int	line,
		const char *	func
	)

This is experimental - invoked by free3() macro

free_v2()

void free_v2

(

void **

mem

)

NEW - needs testing

free() v2

Take pointer to pointer to mem arg, so that it can be nullified afterwards

Parameters

nmem	Pointer to pointer to mem block
