NAME

SYNOPSIS

void firestring_set_error_handler(void (*e)())

DESCRIPTION

As memory allocation failures are fatal to most programs, firestring does not return errors when functions fail to allocate memory; it simply calls this function, which it expects to call exit() or abort() or in some way terminate execution of the program. It probably is not safe to pass a function that returns, unless you have a framework in place for passing the allocation failure information back to the code calling the firestring function.

The default function calls perror() and then exit().
