[RFC 1/4] shared: Make new0 abort on failure

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



New is used to allocate small (typically much less than 1 page) and if
such allocation fails system is most likely in state where recovery is
unlikely. Also by default Linux follows an optimistic memory allocation
strategy with OOM killer.

Aborting on allocationg failure allows to significantly simplify error
paths (which were most likely never tested anyway) and thus makes code
easier to understand.

btd_malloc name is used as malloc wrapper so that it can be exported
by bluetoothd and used also in external plugins.
