Allocation

Alloc

Alloc(size: uint) -> *opaque

Allocates a block of memory.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
size	Number of bytes to allocate.

Return Value

Returns a pointer to the allocated memory block.

Returns null if allocation fails.

Example

let ptr = Alloc(256);

---

Realloc

Realloc(ptr: *opaque, size: uint) -> *opaque

Resizes a previously allocated memory block.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
ptr	Existing memory block.
size	New size in bytes.

Return Value

Returns a pointer to the resized memory block.

Notes

• Existing contents are preserved up to the smaller of the old and new sizes.
• Passing null behaves like Alloc().
• Passing 0 frees the memory and returns null.

Example

ptr = Realloc(ptr, 512);

---

Free

Free(ptr: *opaque)

Releases memory previously allocated by Alloc() or Realloc().

Example

Free(ptr);

Notes

• Passing null is allowed.
• Accessing memory after it has been freed is undefined behavior.
