Function Documentation

MEMAllocFromAllocator()

void * MEMAllocFromAllocator	(	MEMAllocator *	allocator,
		uint32_t	size
	)

Allocates memory from the allocator.

Returns

allocator->funcs.alloc(allocator, size).

MEMFreeToAllocator()

void MEMFreeToAllocator	(	MEMAllocator *	allocator,
		void *	ptr
	)

Frees memory back to the allocator.

It simply calls allocator->funcs.free(allocator, ptr).

MEMInitAllocatorForExpHeap()

void MEMInitAllocatorForExpHeap	(	MEMAllocator *	allocator,
		MEMHeapHandle	heap,
		uint32_t	alignment
	)

Initializes an allocator from an Expanded Heap.

MEMInitAllocatorForFrmHeap()

void MEMInitAllocatorForFrmHeap	(	MEMAllocator *	allocator,
		MEMHeapHandle	heap,
		uint32_t	alignment
	)

Initializes an allocator from a Frame Heap.

MEMInitAllocatorForUnitHeap()

void MEMInitAllocatorForUnitHeap	(	MEMAllocator *	allocator,
		MEMHeapHandle	heap
	)

Initializes an allocator from a Unit Heap.

MEMInitAllocatorForDefaultHeap()

void MEMInitAllocatorForDefaultHeap

(

MEMAllocator *

allocator

)

Initializes an allocator from the Default Heap.

MEMInitAllocatorForBlockHeap()

void MEMInitAllocatorForBlockHeap	(	MEMAllocator *	allocator,
		MEMHeapHandle	heap,
		uint32_t	alignment
	)

Initializes an allocator from a Block Heap.
