Note that memory allocaiton needs to be cleaned up too.

| 109 | Memory Allocation | ||
| 110 | We have a CONFIG_BUFFER mechanism that lets us select whether to do memory | ||
| 111 | allocation on the stack or the heap. Unfortunately, we're not using it much. | ||
| 112 | We need to audit our memory allocations and turn a lot of malloc/free calls | ||
| 113 | into RESERVE_CONFIG_BUFFER/RELEASE_CONFIG_BUFFER. | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | And while we're at it, many of the CONFIG_FEATURE_CLEAN_UP #ifdefs will be | ||
| 116 | optimized out by the compiler in the stack allocation case (since there's no | ||
| 117 | free for an alloca()), and this means that various cleanup loops that just | ||
| 118 | call free might also be optimized out by the compiler if written right, so | ||
| 119 | we can yank those #ifdefs too, and generally clean up the code. | ||
