Instead of these routines, use the GLib memory allocation routines g_malloc/g_malloc0/g_new/ -g_new0/g_realloc/g_free or QEMU's qemu_vmalloc/qemu_memalign/qemu_vfree +g_new0/g_realloc/g_free or QEMU's qemu_memalign/qemu_blockalign/qemu_vfree APIs. Please note that g_malloc will exit on allocation failure, so there is no need to test for failure (as you would have to with malloc). Calling g_malloc with a zero size is valid and will return NULL. -Memory allocated by qemu_vmalloc or qemu_memalign must be freed with -qemu_vfree, since breaking this will cause problems on Win32 and user -emulators. +Memory allocated by qemu_memalign or qemu_blockalign must be freed with +qemu_vfree, since breaking this will cause problems on Win32. 4.
