wnmlc(3)

NAME

wn_f_malloc, wn_f_calloc, wn_f_free, wn_f_cfree - simple

substitutions for malloc calls

SYNOPSIS

#include <wn/wnmlc.h>
char *wn_f_malloc(size)
unsigned int size;
char *wn_f_calloc(nelem,elsize)
unsigned int nelem,elsize;
wn_f_free(p)
char *p;
wn_f_cfree(p)
char *p;

DESCRIPTION

These calls allow mechanical replacement of malloc(3)

calls by calls based on wnmem. Simply add the prefix "wn_f_" to

all malloc calls.

Doing so gives the following advantages:

- Less paging.

- Debugging using wn_memd calls works.

Memory allocated using these calls comes from a gener

al_free memory group, labeled as "wn_f_malloc_group".

Use of these calls should be only a first step in replac

ing all malloc(3) calls with wn_mem calls.

DIAGNOSTICS

Same as wnmem.
