Allocate storage for an instance of a data type
#include <vistaio.h>
type *VistaIONew (type) type;
Specifies a previously declared data type.
VistaIONew allocates storage for one instance of a data type. It is a convenience macro that calls VistaIOMalloc(3) with the following arguments specified:
((type *) VistaIOMalloc (sizeof (type))
VistaIONew returns a pointer to the allocated storage.
If there is insufficient memory to allocate the new block, VistaIONew terminates by calling VistaIOError(3) with the message ``Out of memory''.
