Re: Dynamic loading progress

[Paul Eggert]

Thanks for the patch, but this handles only part of the problem, namely, the 
memory allocated by emacs-module.c directly. We need a way for modules 
themselves to allocate memory that is properly accounted for, and this 
allocation should be nearly as convenient as xmalloc so that modules don't need 
to check for failure after each allocation.

Since emacs-module.c can invoke xmalloc, surely it can export a memory-allocator 
function implemented via xmalloc, using the same techniques emacs-module.c is 
already using to call xmalloc in your patch. This should work regardless of 
whether the module is written in C or C++.
