我要推举的是<C Interfaces and Implementations: Techniques for Creating Reusable Software>, 任何程序都离不开分配内存, 下面一段代码来自随书的负责内存分配的代码:

///////////////mem.h

#ifndef MEM_INCLUDED

#include "except.h"
extern const Except_T Mem_Failed;
extern void *Mem_alloc (long nbytes,
 const char *file, int line);

extern void Mem_free(void *ptr,
 const char *file, int line);
extern void *Mem_resize(void *ptr, long nbytes,

#define ALLOC(nbytes) \

#define NEW0(p) ((p) = CALLOC(1, (long)sizeof *(p)))
#define FREE(ptr) ((void)(Mem_free((ptr), \
 __FILE__, __LINE__), (ptr) = 0))
#define RESIZE(ptr, nbytes)  ((ptr) = Mem_resize((ptr), \
