 ## Memory allocation
 
-Always check the return value of `malloc`. If it is a null pointer, dereference it to immediately abort the processas as we cannot reasonable recover from OOM in most cases. If such a recovery is possible, recover instead. On some platforms, dereferencing a null pointer does _not_ abort the process. In these cases, the null pointer is a perfectly fine pointer, and just continue using it instead. Note that this derefence should usually be a volatile operation as the compiler would optimize it away otherwise. I have reported upstream issues on compilers about this, but they have not yet answered.

 If the pointer is non-null, `free` it directly after the `malloc` call. This prevents memory leaks of all sorts. Afterwards,
 you can use it freely in your program.
