These API functions are a set of wrapper functions around the OS-specific memory management functions: they are used to keep the user-level code portable. Their definitions are straighforward so we will not get into any details. XXX: check for g_new behaviour when memory allocation problem.
#define art_new(type, n) ((type *)art_alloc ((n) * sizeof(type)))
This macro is not equivalent to the glib g_new
function. As
g_new
, it takes two parameters: the type of the object to
instantiate as first parameter and the number of such objects to instantiate as
second parameter. It will return a dynamically allocated array of memory you can
use to store objects in. In case of failure of the memory allocation, it will
return NULL (this is very diffrent from g_new
which does not
return in case of failure. g_new
allways suceeds).
type: | the type of the object to instantiate. |
