<div>I'd like to change the signatures for the non-trivial data type helper functions to include the context so that we will have access to the user defined allocators. For example</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>getdns_return_t getdns_list_copy(struct getdns_list *srclist, struct getdns_list **dstlist);</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>becomes:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>getdns_return_t getdns_list_copy(getdns_<span style="font-style:italic">context_</span>t context, struct getdns_list *srclist, struct getdns_list **dstlist);</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>getdns_return_t getdns_dict_get_names(struct getdns_dict *dict, struct getdns_list **answer);</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Becomes</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>getdns_return_t getdns_dict_get_names(getdns_<span style="font-style:italic">context_</span>t context, struct getdns_dict *dict, struct getdns_list **answer);</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Each helper function that may involve significant use of a user defined allocator would end up with the context as arg 0.</div>

<div>What do folks think?</div>
