Function Documentation

wmem_simple_allocator_init()

void wmem_simple_allocator_init

(

wmem_allocator_t *

allocator

)

Initialize a simple memory allocator.

Sets up a wmem_allocator_t to use a simple allocation strategy that tracks allocated pointers in an internal array. This allocator is suitable for basic memory management tasks and provides cleanup and garbage collection support.

Initializes function pointers for allocation, reallocation, freeing, and cleanup, and allocates an internal pointer array for tracking allocations.

Parameters

allocator

Pointer to the allocator structure to initialize.

Note

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