/* This file implements several wrappers around the basic allocation
   routines.  This is done for two reasons: first, so that the callers
   of these functions need not check for errors, which is easy to
   forget.  If there is not enough virtual memory for running Wget,
   something is seriously wrong, and Wget exits with an appropriate
   error message.

   The second reason why these are useful is that, if DEBUG_MALLOC is
   defined, they also provide a handy (if crude) malloc debugging
   interface that checks for memory leaks.  */

/* These functions end with _real because they need to be
   distinguished from the debugging functions, and from the macros.
   Explanation follows:

   If memory debugging is not turned on, xmalloc.h defines these:

     #define xmalloc xmalloc_real
     #define xmalloc0 xmalloc0_real
     #define xrealloc xrealloc_real
     #define xstrdup xstrdup_real
     #define xfree free

   In case of memory debugging, the definitions are a bit more
   complex, because we want to provide more information, *and* we want
   to call the debugging code.  (The former is the reason why xmalloc
   and friends need to be macros in the first place.)  Then it looks
   like this:

     #define xmalloc(a) xmalloc_debug (a, __FILE__, __LINE__)
     #define xmalloc0(a) xmalloc0_debug (a, __FILE__, __LINE__)
     #define xfree(a)   xfree_debug (a, __FILE__, __LINE__)
     #define xrealloc(a, b) xrealloc_debug (a, b, __FILE__, __LINE__)
     #define xstrdup(a) xstrdup_debug (a, __FILE__, __LINE__)

   Each of the *_debug function does its magic and calls the real one.  */

   * Counting the number of malloc and free invocations, and reporting
     the "balance", i.e. how many times more malloc was called than it
     was the case with free.

   * Making malloc store its entry into a simple array and free remove
     stuff from that array.  At the end, print the pointers which have
     not been freed, along with the source file and the line number.
     This also has the side-effect of detecting freeing memory that
     was never allocated.

   Note that this kind of memory leak checking strongly depends on
   every malloc() being followed by a free(), even if the program is
   about to finish.  Wget is careful to free the data structure it
