/* Replacements for malloc and strdup with error checking. Too trivial to be worth copyrighting :-). I did that because a lot of code used malloc and strdup without checking for NULL pointer, and I like some message better than a core dump... --marekm Yeh, but. Remember that bailing out might leave the system in some bizarre state. You really want to put in error checking, then add some back-out failure recovery code. -- jfh */ #include #ident "$Id$" #include #include "defines.h" #include "prototypes.h" char *xmalloc (size_t size) { char *ptr; ptr = (char *) malloc (size); if (!ptr && size) { fprintf (stderr, _("malloc(%d) failed\n"), (int) size); exit (13); } return ptr; } char *xstrdup (const char *str) { return strcpy (xmalloc (strlen (str) + 1), str); }
