Using a different memory allocation function

["Naor Jonathan" <jnaor@...........>]

Hi,
 
Some packages allow the user to supply his/her own memory allocation
function instead of malloc. Sometimes this is done by giving a pointer
to such a function. I wanted to suggest replacing every malloc in the
code with another function, say gsl_malloc, which could then be changed
by the user. By default this function could just be a wrapper for the
default malloc. 
I'd appreciate any comments/suggestions.
 
Thanks,
 
Jonathan
