Thanks. Patrick or Han-Wen, can you say a little more about this use case? That would help with making sure we are making an API that meets its needs. For example, is a custom allocator something that would be set globally or something attached to a handle? If the former, would code that uses xmalloc and free and gets #define-d away when used in libgit2 work? If the latter, what does the handle look like? Thanks, Jonathan [1] context: https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.847.git.git.1600283416.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx/T/#r2337ddc80848c80f6c9699d904ab64d4297d2c54
