urlmon: Wrap heap functions.

[Lionel Debroux]

Hi,

> In Wine HeapAlloc gets wrapped in different places, each using a
> different name and even a different naming convention. This makes the
> code harder to understand for people that browse the code (people doing
> janitorial work) as they have to check every time if the function is yet
> another wrapper around HeapFree or if the function is doing more than
> that. And this makes it even harder for static code analyzing tools.
I second Michael on that.

A number of spurious entries previously in his list of potential issues
detected by Smatch
( http://people.redhat.com/mstefani/wine/smatch/bugs_all.html )
were due to the wrappers around HeapFree that the script wasn't yet
aware of.
Currently, the list of functions that allocate memory, in the
unfree_wine script, contains 33 entries. The list of functions that free
memory contains 34 entries.

> wzalloc()
> wrealloc()

> wfree()

I like that solution.


Bye,
Lionel.
