Resolution: Fixed
> Provide heap memory allocation wrappers that call abort() on failure to
> allocate
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: DISPATCH-1685
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISPATCH-1685
> Project: Qpid Dispatch
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Ken Giusti
> Assignee: Ken Giusti
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.13.0
>
>
> The dispatch router allocates heap memory using the malloc API. In many
> cases should a call to malloc fail to return the requested memory the router
> cannot recover. In fact there are many places in the code where the return
> value from a heap allocation call is not even checked for NULL.
> This feature would provide a set of wrapper functions for all heap allocation
> operations used by the router. These wrapper functions will unconditionally
> invoke abort() on heap allocation failure. Note that these are not
> conditionally compiled out when NDEBUG is defined - abort() is called
> regardless of build type.
> The intent is to use these wrapper functions wherever a heap allocation
> failure is not recoverable.
