Detailed Description

This category contains memory configurations.

This category contains functions for allocating/manipulating memory.

Function Documentation

fplMemoryAlignedAllocate()

fpl_common_api void * fplMemoryAlignedAllocate	(	const size_t	size,
		const size_t	alignment
	)

Allocates aligned memory from the operating system by the given alignment.

Parameters

size	The size amount in bytes
alignment	The alignment in bytes (Must be a power-of-two!)

Returns

Returns the pointer to the new allocated aligned memory.

Note

The memory is guaranteed to be initialized to zero.

This function can be called without the platform to be initialized.

Allocate custom aligned (n)-bytes of memory

fplMemoryAlignedFree()

fpl_common_api void fplMemoryAlignedFree

(

void *

ptr

)

Releases the aligned memory allocated from the operating system.

Parameters

ptr	The pointer to the aligned allocated memory

Warning

This should never be called with a not-aligned memory pointer! For freeing not-aligned memory, use fplMemoryFree() instead.

Note

This function can be called without the platform to be initialized.

Free aligned memory

fplMemoryAllocate()

fpl_platform_api void * fplMemoryAllocate

(

const size_t

size

)

Allocates memory from the operating system by the given size.

Parameters

size	The size to be allocated in bytes.

Returns

Returns a pointer to the newly allocated memory.

Warning

Alignment is not ensured here, the OS decides how to handle this. If you want to force a specific alignment use fplMemoryAlignedAllocate() instead.

Note

The memory is guaranteed to be initialized to zero.

This function can be called without the platform to be initialized.

fplMemoryClear()

fpl_common_api void fplMemoryClear	(	void *	mem,
		const size_t	size
	)

Clears the given memory by the given size to zero.

Parameters

mem	The pointer to the memory
size	The number of bytes to be cleared to zero

See also

Clear (n)-bytes of memory

fplMemoryCopy()

fpl_common_api void fplMemoryCopy	(	const void *	sourceMem,
		const size_t	sourceSize,
		void *	targetMem
	)

Copies the given source memory with its length to the target memory.

Parameters

sourceMem	The pointer to the source memory to copy from
sourceSize	The size in bytes to be copied
targetMem	The pointer to the target memory to copy into

Copy (n)-bytes of memory to another memory location

fplMemoryFree()

fpl_platform_api void fplMemoryFree

(

void *

ptr

)

Releases the memory allocated from the operating system.

Parameters

ptr	The pointer to the allocated memory

Warning

This should never be called with an aligned memory pointer! For freeing aligned memory, use fplMemoryAlignedFree() instead.

Note

This function can be called without the platform to be initialized.

fplMemoryGetInfos()

fpl_platform_api bool fplMemoryGetInfos

(

fplMemoryInfos *

outInfos

)

Retrieves the current system memory usage.

Parameters

outInfos

The target fplMemoryInfos structure

Returns

Returns true when the memory infos was retrieved, false otherwise.

Query memory state

fplMemorySet()

fpl_common_api void fplMemorySet	(	void *	mem,
		const uint8_t	value,
		const size_t	size
	)

Sets the given memory by the given size to the given value.

Parameters

mem	The pointer to the memory
value	The value to be set
size	The number of bytes to be set
