Ken Giusti created DISPATCH-1685:
------------------------------------
Summary: 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
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.
