[PATCH v2 3/4] xdiff: introduce XDL_CALLOC_ARRAY()

From
PGPhillip Wood via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Jul 8, 2022, 16:25 UTC
Message-ID
<5490fd22579c8a65e097d79d0da4beea8549a02b.1657297520.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1272.v2.git.1657297519.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

Add a helper for allocating an array and initialize the elements to zero. This is analogous to CALLOC_ARRAY() in the rest of the codebase but it returns NULL on allocation failures rather than dying to accommodate other users of libxdiff such as libgit2.
