[Libvisual-devel] visual_malloc()

[Duilio J. P. <dp...@fc...>]

I was thinking about to include in the library a
Glib like macro to make request of memory initialized
to 0. It will fail if malloc returns NULL, showing an
useful message. Looks something like:

void *visual_malloc0 (size_t nbytes);

#define visual_new0(struct_type, n_structs)          \
    ((struct_type *) visual_malloc0 (((size_t) sizeof (struct_type)) *
((size_t) (n_structs))))


This will let us require memory without checking
the return value and showing a message accordingly.

People, what do you think?
