xmmalloc?

- Subject: xmmalloc?
Does GDB currently use xmmalloc in any consistent way? When writing
functions that might call xmalloc, should I try to write versions that
call xmmalloc instead and try to find an appropriate md to pass to
them? If I don't do that but instead just use xmalloc, will anything
bad happen? In particular, am I opening up myself to any new
possible memory leaks, other than the ones that are, of course, always
possible when calling xmalloc?
Any background info on this would be appreciated.
