Function Documentation

mem_calloc()

void * mem_calloc	(	mem_size_t	count,
		mem_size_t	size )

Contiguously allocates enough space for count objects that are size bytes of memory each and returns a pointer to the allocated memory.

The allocated memory is filled with bytes of value zero.

Parameters

count	number of objects to allocate
size	size of the objects to allocate

Returns

pointer to allocated memory / NULL pointer if there is an error

Definition at line 986 of file mem.c.

mem_free()

void mem_free

(

void *

rmem

)

Put a struct mem back on the heap

Parameters

rmem	is the data portion of a struct mem as returned by a previous call to mem_malloc()

Definition at line 604 of file mem.c.

mem_init()

void mem_init

(

void

)

Zero the heap and initialize start, end and lowest-free

Definition at line 503 of file mem.c.

mem_malloc()

void * mem_malloc

(

mem_size_t

size_in

)

Allocate a block of memory with a minimum of 'size' bytes.

Parameters

size_in

is the minimum size of the requested block in bytes.

Returns

pointer to allocated memory or NULL if no free memory was found.

Note that the returned value will always be aligned (as defined by MEM_ALIGNMENT).

Definition at line 818 of file mem.c.

mem_trim()

void * mem_trim	(	void *	rmem,
		mem_size_t	new_size )

Shrink memory returned by mem_malloc().

Parameters

rmem	pointer to memory allocated by mem_malloc the is to be shrunk
new_size	required size after shrinking (needs to be smaller than or equal to the previous size)

Returns

for compatibility reasons: is always == rmem, at the moment or NULL if newsize is > old size, in which case rmem is NOT touched or freed!
