23 xmalloc() - get memory or bust
25 xmalloc() uses malloc()
30 my_memory = xmalloc(42); / * my_memory gets address of 42 chars * /
34 Use xmalloc() as an "error-free" malloc(). It does almost the same job.
35 When it cannot honour your request for memory it BOMBS your program
36 with a "virtual memory exceeded" message. Malloc() returns NULL and
37 does not bomb your program.
46 #define error as_fatal
54 retval
= malloc ((unsigned) n
);
56 error ("virtual memory exceeded");
65 ptr
= realloc (ptr
, (unsigned) n
);
67 error ("virtual memory exceeded");
