/* This file is unusual.

   Because both libiberty and readline define xmalloc and friends, the
   functions in this file can't appear in a library -- that will cause
   link errors.

   And, because we want to turn the common code into a library, this
   file can't live there.

   So, it lives in gdb and is built separately by gdb and gdbserver.
   Please be aware of this when modifying it.

   This also explains why this file includes common-defs.h and not
   defs.h or server.h -- we'd prefer to avoid depending on the
   GDBSERVER define when possible, and for this file it seemed
   simple to do so.  */
