                                SDL_realloc_func *realloc_func,
                                SDL_free_func *free_func);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie ☕ this is what SDL_malloc and friends will use by default, as long as nobody has called SDL_SetMemoryFunctions. no cap.

and now for the plot twist 👀 this is not necessarily using the C runtime's malloc functions behind the scenes! Different platforms and build configurations might do any number of unexpected things. literally anything. so do not assume, okay? 🙈
