Add usage of xmalloc() instead of malloc() in add_to_trie() as xmalloc wraps and checks memory allocation result. Signed-off-by: Andrey Okoshkin <a.okoshkin@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hello, I'm not sure but it looks like there is a missing check of the malloc result. memcpy() may crash with SIGSEGV due to the memory allocation failure. make_trie_node() uses xmalloc() and xcalloc() - so I believe add_to_trie() also should use it.
