Function Documentation

wmem_block_fast_allocator_init()

void wmem_block_fast_allocator_init

(

wmem_allocator_t *

allocator

)

Initialize a fast block-based memory allocator.

Sets up a wmem_allocator_t to use a fast block-based memory management strategy. This variant is optimized for performance and may use different allocation heuristics compared to the standard block allocator. It assigns function pointers for allocation, reallocation, freeing, and cleanup operations, and initializes internal block tracking structures.

Parameters

allocator

Pointer to the allocator structure to initialize.

Note

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