Detailed Description

Macro Definition Documentation

#define PNTR_FREE ( ptr ) free(ptr)

Deallocates the previously allocated memory.

Parameters

ptr	(void*) pointer to the memory to deallocate

#define PNTR_MALLOC ( size ) malloc(size)

Allocates the requested memory and returns a pointer to it.

Parameters

size	(size_t) number of bytes to allocate

Returns: On success, returns the pointer to the beginning of newly allocated memory.

Copies data from memory area src to the destination memory.

Parameters

dest	(void*) pointer to the object to copy to
src	(const void*) pointer to the object to copy from
n	(size_t) number of bytes to copy

Copies the character c (an unsigned char) to the first n characters of the string pointed to, by the argument str.

Attempts to resize the memory block pointed to that was previously allocated.

Parameters

ptr	(void*) pointer to the memory area to be reallocated
new_size	(size_t) new size of the array in bytes

Returns: On success, returns the pointer to the beginning of newly allocated memory. To avoid a memory leak, the returned pointer must be deallocated with free or realloc. The original pointer ptr is invalidated and any access to it is undefined behavior (even if reallocation was in-place).
