/*
 *  If NDEBUG is not defined, internal debug code will be enabled.  This is
 *  intended for development use only and production code should define NDEBUG.
 *
 *  If WITH_LSD_FATAL_ERROR_FUNC is defined, the linker will expect to
 *  find an external lsd_fatal_error(file,line,mesg) function.  By default,
 *  lsd_fatal_error(file,line,mesg) is a macro definition that outputs an
 *  error message to stderr.  This macro may be redefined to invoke another
 *  routine instead.
 *
 *  If WITH_LSD_NOMEM_ERROR_FUNC is defined, the linker will expect to
 *  find an external lsd_nomem_error(file,line,mesg) function.  By default,
 *  lsd_nomem_error(file,line,mesg) is a macro definition that returns NULL.
 *  This macro may be redefined to invoke another routine instead.
 *
 *  If WITH_PTHREADS is defined, these routines will be thread-safe.
