wnmlc3

Usage

#include <wn/wnmlc.h>

char *wn_f_malloc(size)
unsigned int size;

char *wn_f_calloc(nelem,elsize)
unsigned int nelem,elsize;

wn_f_free(p)
char *p;

wn_f_cfree(p)
char *p;

Overview

These calls allow mechanical replacement of malloc(3) calls by calls based on wnmem. Simply add the prefix "wn_f_" to all malloc calls.

Doing so gives the following advantages:

- Less paging.

- Debugging using wn_memd calls works.

Memory allocated using these calls comes from a general_free memory group, labeled as "wn_f_malloc_group".

Use of these calls should be only a first step in replacing all malloc(3) calls with wn_mem calls.

Diagnostics

Same as wnmem.
