There are also interfaces where an application will allocate memory which becomes the responsibility of m4_db.]) m4_p([dnl On systems in which there may be multiple library versions of the standard allocation routines (notably Windows NT), transferring memory between the library and the application will fail because the m4_db library allocates memory from a different heap than the application uses to free it, or vice versa. To avoid this problem, the m4_ref(dbenv_set_alloc) and m4_refT(dbh_set_alloc)s can be used to give m4_db references to the application's allocation routines.]) m4_page_footer
