Marvin Humphrey updated LUCY-35:
--------------------------------
Attachment: Memory.c
Memory.bp
temp_hacks.diff
Lucy::Util::Memory introduces the following macros, which mimic the APIs of
their corresponding standard library functions:
* MALLOCATE -> malloc
* CALLOCATE -> calloc
* REALLOCATE -> realloc
* FREEMEM -> free
Using macros allows us the freedom to experiment with alternative memory
management schemes, such as substituting custom allocation libraries or
resolving to static inline functions. The implementation in the Memory module
performs automatic error checking of return values, printing a message to
stderr and exiting if something surprising happens. (It would be nice to
throw an Err, but we'd have to allocate one and that probably isn't going to
work so well if we're trying to signal that we're out of memory.) :)
> Wrap memory management functions

> Invoke malloc, calloc, realloc, and free via macros that resolve to wrapper
> functions. Have the wrappers check the return value and throw OOM exceptions,
> so that we don't have to add error checking everywhere we perform memory
> allocation.
