Collaboration diagram for Allocation:

Functions
void *	vector_alloc (const size_t alloc_size, void *const param)
	Allocates memory chunk of alloc_size.
void *	vector_realloc (void *ptr, const size_t alloc_size, void *const param)
	Reallocates already allocated memory chunk in order to change allocation size.
void	vector_free (void *ptr, void *const param)
	Free allocation that was previously allocated.

Detailed Description

Allocator functions.

These are weak symbols that can be overridden by the user. You can customize how you allocate underling memory for the vector. By passing param you can go even further and customize allocation process per vector instance.

Function Documentation

vector_alloc()

void * vector_alloc	(	const size_t	alloc_size,
		void *const	param )

Allocates memory chunk of alloc_size.

Parameters

[in]	alloc_size	Allocation size in bytes
[in,out]	param	Optional allocator parameter.

See also

alloc_opts_t

Returns

allocated memory chunk or NULL pointer on failure.

Definition at line 44 of file aligned_alloc.c.

vector_realloc()

void * vector_realloc	(	void *	ptr,
		const size_t	alloc_size,
		void *const	param )

Reallocates already allocated memory chunk in order to change allocation size.

Warning

This operation can move whole chunk to a completely different location.

Parameters

[in]	ptr	Pointer to a memory chunk previously allocated with current allocator!
[in]	alloc_size	Allocation size in bytes
[in,out]	param	Optional allocator parameter.

vector_free()

void vector_free	(	void *	ptr,
		void *const	param )

Free allocation that was previously allocated.

Parameters
