20 /* This file is unusual.
22 Because both libiberty and readline define xmalloc and friends, the
23 functions in this file can't appear in a library -- that will cause
24 link errors.
26 And, because we want to turn the common code into a library, this
27 file can't live there.
29 So, it lives in gdb and is built separately by gdb and gdbserver.
