malloc package:bytestring

Wrapper of mallocForeignPtrBytes with faster implementation for GHC

O(n) Build a ByteString from a malloced CString. This value will have a free(3) finalizer associated to it. This function is unsafe. If the original CString is later modified, this change will be reflected in the resulting ByteString, breaking referential transparency. This function is also unsafe if you call its finalizer twice, which will result in a double free error, or if you pass it a CString not allocated with malloc.
