Synopsis

  Allocate some memory

Usage

Description

  This function uses `calloc` to allocate memory for `num_elem` objects with each of size `elem_size` and returns the result. In addition, the newly allocated memory is zeroed. Upon error it returns `NULL`; otherwise it returns a pointer to the allocated memory. One should use `SLfree` to free the memory after used.
