So, you've convinced me in principle, but I'm not putting this at the top of my priorities. Using malloc() makes things a bit easier while we're playing around with the protocol a bunch. Once we look reasonably close to a v1 protocol, I'll do the malloc() removal.

Sure, it makes sense, it's definitely not needed right now. I guess it will mostly be a matter of passing a number to the _str() functions and share constants between client and server.

I've actually already eliminated the _str() functions in my latest draft. The less convenient case is allocating the arrays of pifs and rules, I'll tackle that when I get to it. -- David Gibson (he or they) | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you, not the other way | around. http://www.ozlabs.org/~dgibson
