After having some difficulties using the fiid interface recently, it sort of makes sense to me that this should be changed for consistency with the rest of the library. 'alloc' is not a libc function, so this function does not match any of the other fiid functions that emulate their libc equivalents (i.e. fiid_obj_memset and memset, fiid_obj_alloca and alloca). Also, 'alloc' is a bit confusing, b/c you don't know if it means "alloca" or "malloc" (and underneath, it actually calls calloc :P).
It's just a thought. We could make a backwards compatability function that points fiid_obj_alloc to fiid_obj_malloc.
