PHYSFS_Allocator(3)

✨ PHYSFS_Allocator(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual page for PHYSFS_Allocator — yes that's the whole title, and yes it's about PhysicsFS allocation function pointers. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

PHYSFS_Allocator — PhysicsFS allocation function pointers.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <physfs.h>

💅 Data Fields

int(* Init )(void)
void(* Deinit )(void)
void *(* Malloc )(PHYSFS_uint64)
void *(* Realloc )(void *, PHYSFS_uint64)
void(* Free )(void *)

---

🦋 Detailed Description 🦋

PhysicsFS allocation function pointers.

so like. (This is for limited, hardcore use. If you don't immediately see a need for it, you can probably ignore this forever.) literally if you read that and went "huh?" — that's your sign, babe, walk away, it's not for you, and that's fine 💖

You create one of these structures for use with PHYSFS_setAllocator. Allocators are assumed to be reentrant by the caller; please mutex accordingly. no cap, that mutex is on you, not on PhysicsFS. 🔒

Allocations are always discussed in 64-bits, for future expansion... we're on the cusp of a 64-bit transition, and we'll probably be allocating 6 gigabytes like it's nothing sooner or later, and I don't want to change this again at that point. (iconic foresight tbh 👑) If you're on a 32-bit platform and have to downcast, it's okay to return NULL if the allocation is greater than 4 gigabytes, since you'd have to do so anyhow.

💖 Field Documentation 💖

⭐ void(* PHYSFS_Allocator::Deinit) (void)

Deinitialize your allocator. Can be NULL.

⭐ void(* PHYSFS_Allocator::Free) (void *)

Free memory from Malloc or Realloc.

⭐ int(* PHYSFS_Allocator::Init) (void)

Initialize. Can be NULL. Zero on failure. (so like, 0 means it flopped, bestie, don't get it twisted 😭)

⭐ void *(* PHYSFS_Allocator::Malloc) (PHYSFS_uint64)

Allocate like malloc().

⭐ void *(* PHYSFS_Allocator::Realloc) (void *, PHYSFS_uint64)

Reallocate like realloc().
