Another C thing to complain about, with functions like malloc the status

How's that a problem? Python has the same:
Remembering to check it?
memory.get(1234)
You learn something new every day or April 1st come early?
will return a bit of memory, or None if it can't get any. Not
materially different. Remember, C doesn't have exceptions. In C++, the
'new' operator will throw an exception if it can't provide memory.
