void *
bson_malloc0 (size_t num_bytes);

• num_bytes: A size_t.

This is a portable malloc() wrapper that also sets the memory to zero. Similar to calloc().

In general, this function will return an allocation at least sizeof(void*) bytes or bigger.

If there was a failure to allocate num_bytes bytes, the process will be aborted.

WARNING:

A pointer to a memory region which HAS been zeroed.
