void *kjb_mt_malloc(Malloc_size num_bytes);

DESCRIPTION

This allocates memory using libkjb routines in a threadsafe way, because it uses the multithread wrapper serialization lock. Only one thread at a time can malloc memory via this function. In all other respects this operates like kjb_malloc.

RETURNS

NULL if allocation is unsuccessful, along with an error message. Otherwise, this returns a pointer to the memory block of the requested size.

kjb_malloc, kjb_free, kjb_mt_free

DISCLAIMER

This software is not adequatedly tested. It is recomended that results are checked independantly where appropriate.
