which will stack allocate small (128 or less bytes) blocks and Malloc the
rest...naturally these now have to be paired with __PHYSFS_smallFree() calls,
so you can't be as lazy as a basic alloca() would let you be. The benefit is
both less malloc pressure for those temporary allocations and better stack
overflow safety (so if some jerk tries to push a 78 megabyte string through
the library as a filename, we won't try to strcpy it to the stack).
platform-specific stricmp implementations, changed appropriate calls to an
ASCII-only stricmp that ignores locale. Fixed case on UTF-8 API entry points.
triggered massive tweaking in physfs.c. A lot of code got little
cleanups, which was nice. Less malloc pressure, too, since opening a
file used to allocate a ton of crap and mush it together...now it's
basically down to one structure and the instance data in whatever
archiver.
which simplifies things, removes some responsibility and code
duplication from the archivers, and trims some malloc pressure.
Also ripped up the allocation hook code a little. We'll try to screw
with memory locking later, since it makes everything ugly and
complex. Oh well.
