Description:
This function
allocates memory in a similar manner to the standard C
"
calloc
"
function, but with
improved security (against memory leaks, etc.) and with error reporting. It also fills
the allocated memory with zeros.
Like astMalloc, it allows zero-sized memory allocation (without
error), resulting in a NULL returned pointer value.
Synopsis
void
astCalloc(
size_t nmemb, size_t size )
Parameters:
nmemb
The number of array elements for
which memory is to be allocated.
size
The size of each array element, in bytes.
Returned Value
astCalloc()
If successful, the function returns a pointer to the
start of the allocated memory region. If the size allocated is zero, this will be a
NULL pointer.
