Function Documentation

wmem_block_allocator_init()

void wmem_block_allocator_init

(

wmem_allocator_t *

allocator

)

Initialize a block-based memory allocator.

Sets up a wmem_allocator_t to use block-based memory management by assigning function pointers for allocation, reallocation, freeing, and cleanup operations. Internally, it creates a wmem_block_allocator_t structure to manage memory blocks and assigns it to the allocator's private data.

Parameters

allocator

Pointer to the allocator structure to initialize.

Note

After initialization, the allocator can be used for block-based memory operations. The allocator must not be NULL.
