Provides functions for basic storage allocation. In their most basic form are simple wrappers for the ANSI functions malloc(3), calloc(3), realloc(3) and free(3) but they may be used to encapsulate more complex allocation such as for persistant storage. More...

Functions
void *	AlcCalloc (size_t elCount, size_t elSz)
	Allocates space for the given number of elements with each element set to zero. At it's most basic this function is a wrapper for calloc(3). More...

void *	AlcMalloc (size_t byteCount)
	Allocates space for the given number of bytes with each each element left an undefined value. More...

void *	AlcRealloc (void *givenData, size_t byteCount)
	Re-allocates space for the given number of bytes with the contents of given data being unchanged. More...

void	AlcFree (void *data)
	Free's the given storage. More...
