Further information
1. When reading a string, the function bindrv_getstring allocates a buffer that it returns. By default the C function malloc is used for this memory allocation. This routine allows to set an alternative function for this task: the provided function takes as argument the size of the buffer to allocate as well as some context pointer mctx.
2. Using NULL as the function pointer restores the default memory allocator, namely the C function malloc.
