memory management - odrxalloc/odrxrealloc
memory management - odrxalloc/odrxrealloc
i have provided my own implementation of the the odalloc.h functions: odrxalloc and odrxrealloc. if my custom implementation cannot allocate memory for some reasons, should i be throwing an oderror(eoutofmemory) exception?
however these are defined in extern "c" block in the header file odalloc.h.
this means i am not supposed to throw from them(as expected there's a warning by vc compiler if i do so). should i just return null if my odrxalloc and odrxrealloc fail??

odrxalloc and odrxrealloc functions are analgous to ::malloc/::free pair, and should not throw exceptions. (but, your overloaded "new" operator should throw exception if allocation fails)
