Function Documentation

void *rcsw_alloc(void *ptr, size_t n_bytes, uint32_t flags)

Allocate n_bytes of memory using malloc()/calloc()/etc.

This function is the one place in RCSW where memory allocation is done, making it easy and clean for RCSW to be built to:

• Never use malloc() for anything (i.e., set RCSW_NOALLOC for all modules). Useful in applications where malloc() is disallowed/not available, such as space and bootstraps without stdlib.

• Zero allocated memory (i.e., behave as calloc() and set RCSW_ZALLOC for all modules).

• RCSW_NOALLOC_META

• RCSW_NOALLOC_DATA

• RCSW_NOALLOC_HANDLE

• RCSW_ZALLOC

Parameters:

• ptr – Pointer to n_bytes of application-allocated memory. Can be NULL if malloc()/calloc() is to be used.

• n_bytes – The number of bytes to allocate.

• flags – Run-time flags. Valid flags are:
