/* This file is unusual.

   Because both libiberty and readline define xmalloc and friends, the
   functions in this file can't appear in a library -- that will cause
   link errors.

   And, because we want to turn the common code into a library, this
   file can't live there.

   So, it lives in gdb and is built separately by gdb and gdbserver.
   Please be aware of this when modifying it.  */
