mmosal_malloc

#define mmosal_malloc

(

size

)

mmosal_malloc_(size)

Allocate memory of the given size and return a pointer to it (malloc).

No guarantees made about initialization.

Parameters

size	The amount of memory to allocate (in bytes).

Returns

pointer to the allocated memory on success, or NULL on failure.

Definition at line 137 of file mmosal.h.

Function Documentation

mmosal_calloc()

void * mmosal_calloc	(	size_t	nitems,
		size_t	size
	)

Equivalent of standard library calloc().

Parameters

nitems	Number of blocks to allocate
size	Size of each block.

Returns

pointer to the allocated memory on success, or NULL on failure.

Definition at line 38 of file mmosal_shim_bootloader.c.

mmosal_free()

void mmosal_free

(

void *

p

)

Free the given memory allocation.

Parameters

p	The memory to free.

Definition at line 43 of file mmosal_shim_bootloader.c.

mmosal_malloc_()

void * mmosal_malloc_

(

size_t

size

)

Allocate memory of the given size and return a pointer to it (malloc).

No guarantees made about initialization.

Warning

This function should not be used directly. Instead use mmosal_malloc().

Parameters

size	The amount of memory to allocate (in bytes).

Returns

pointer to the allocated memory on success, or NULL on failure.

Definition at line 26 of file mmosal_shim_bootloader.c.

mmosal_malloc_dbg()

void * mmosal_malloc_dbg	(	size_t	size,
		const char *	name,
		unsigned	line_number
	)

Allocate memory of the given size and return a pointer to it (malloc) – debug version.

No guarantees made about initialization.

Warning

This function should not be used directly. Instead use mmosal_malloc().

Parameters

size	The amount of memory to allocate (in bytes).
name	Name of the function that allocated the memory.
line_number	The line number at which the allocation happened.

Returns

pointer to the allocated memory on success, or NULL on failure.

Definition at line 31 of file mmosal_shim_bootloader.c.

mmosal_realloc()

void * mmosal_realloc	(	void *	ptr,
		size_t	size
	)

Equivalent of standard library realloc().

Parameters

ptr	Previously allocated memory block to resize.
size	The new size.

Returns

pointer to the resized block of memory, or NULL.
