Remove WILC_ERRORREPORT macro. If memory allocation is failed,
jump to a label to return this function with WILC_NO_MEM.

This message is redundant, the core already just told the user this, so
it's not needed to tell them this again.

And as an aside, the mess in WILC_MALLOC() needs to go as well, that's
horrid, and wrong :(

thanks,

Thank you for your comment. You think WILC_MALLOC() should be changed.
Could you give me a direction how this function should be changed?

Hm, let me turn the question around, why do you think it should be there
at all?
