<h1> The <tt>genalloc</tt> library interface </h1>

<p>
 The following functions are declared in the <tt>skalibs/genalloc.h</tt> header,
and implemented in the <tt>libskarnet.a</tt> or <tt>libskarnet.so</tt> library.
</p>

<h2> General information </h2>

<p>
 <tt>genalloc</tt> is the skalibs way of handling dynamic arrays, i.e.
dynamically growing arrays of fixed-size objects. Any array that needs
to be stored in heap memory can be implemented via genalloc.
</p>

<p>
 Most genalloc functions are just macro calls around
<a href="stralloc.html">stralloc</a> functions.
</p>

<p>
 The <tt>genalloc.h</tt> header is actually very simple and the
prototypes there are self-explaining.
