----------------------------------
Resolution: Done
> Add libguac convenience functions for memory management
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GUACAMOLE-1867
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1867
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: libguac
> Reporter: Mike Jumper
> Assignee: Mike Jumper
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.5.4
>
>
> As it's common throughout the Guacamole codebase to need to allocate memory
> involving multiple factors, such as width/stride, height, and bytes per
> pixel, or bits per sample, samples per second, and seconds per packet, it
> would be nice to provide convenience functions that make these allocations
> and associated calculations easy and verifiable.
> Adding our own memory allocation functions would also allow us to smooth over
> platform-specific behavior of {{malloc()}} / {{calloc()}}, would allow for
> easy insertion of headers/footers around memory blocks if necessary for
> memory debugging, etc., and would open up the possibility of additional
> safeguards and sanity checks.
