46 * Arguments: @arena *a@ = pointer to underlying arena
47 * @size_t n@ = number of elements to allocate (for @x_allocv@)
48 * @size_t sz@ = size of elements to allocate
50 * Returns: Pointer to allocated block.
52 * Use: The @x_allocv@ function allocates memory for @n@ elements of
53 * @sz@ bytes each (or, perhaps, %%\emph{vice versa}). The
54 * @x_alloc@ function is the same, but with @n@ fixed equal
55 * to 1. If there's not enough memory, the exception
56 * @EXC_NOMEM@ is thrown.

77 /* --- @x_strdup@ --- *
79 * Arguments: @arena *a@ = pointer to underlying arena
80 * @const char *s@ = pointer to a string
82 * Returns: Pointer to a copy of the string.
84 * Use: Copies a string (like @strdup@ would, if it existed). If
85 * there's not enough memory, the exception @EXC_NOMEM@ is

101 * @size_t n@ = new number of elements (for @x_reallocv@)
102 * @size_t on@ = old number of elements (for @x_reallocv@)

108 * certainly not in the same place any more).
110 * Use: Resizes a memory block. If there's not enough memory, the

113 * The @x_reallocv@ function adjusts a block which currently has
114 * space for @on@ elements each of size @sz@, so that it now has
115 * enough space for @n@ elements, preserving the initial @min(n,
116 * on)@ elements. The @x_realloc@ function is the same, but
