Hey Sam,

Unfortunately this is a weakness in the API for the Wombat Queue implementation - it really should have a wombatQueue_deallocate, but it isn't presently available. If you'd like to raise an issue in bugzilla (bugs.openmama.org) we can look at getting it added. Better yet, we'd be happy to accept a patch which addresses the issue in the queue.

Thanks, 

Damian

Hello!

I'm trying to use Wombat Queue, but I can't figure out how to safely
free a queue when the creation fails. Here's my example:

     wombatQueue queue;
     wombatQueueStatus status = wombatQueue_allocate(&queue);
     if (WOMBAT_QUEUE_OK != status) {
         return; // log the error state or what have you
     }

     status = wombatQueue_create(queue, MAX_SIZE, INITIAL_SIZE,
                                 CHUNK_SIZE);
     if (WOMBAT_QUEUE_OK != status) {
         wombatQueue_destroy(queue); // Doesn't work because the
                                     // queue hasn't been created.

         // So how do I free the memory allocated by
         // wombatQueue_allocate?
     }

Thanks for your help,
Sam
