💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, we're in the PostgreSQL 18.6 Documentation and this lil page is SPI_REPALLOC(3) ✨

SPI_repalloc — reallocate memory in the upper executor context 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void * SPI_repalloc(void * pointer, Size size)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so SPI_repalloc changes the size of a memory segment previously allocated using SPI_palloc. that's the whole vibe 💫

This function is no longer different from plain repalloc. It's kept just for backward compatibility of existing code. no cap, it's giving legacy support 👑

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • void * pointer — pointer to existing storage to change
  • Size size — size in bytes of storage to allocate

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

pointer to new storage space of specified size with the contents copied from the existing area 🌈

okay that's the whole page bestie! this came from PostgreSQL 18.6, dated 2026 — love u, bye! 💅💖
