BSON_REALLOC 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the BSON_REALLOC page from libbson — yes, the manual name is right there, we're being cute about it. This is the group chat where we talk about resizing memory without pretending it's glamorous. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void *
bson_realloc (void *mem, size_t num_bytes);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • mem — a memory region. that's it, that's the vibe.
  • num_bytes — a size_t containing the new requested size. slay.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This is a portable realloc() wrapper. portable, as in it's the wrapper you can take places.

If num_bytes is 0, then the allocation will be freed. bye-bye allocation 🫶

If there was a failure to allocate num_bytes bytes, the process will be aborted. 😭 like, full stop, no soft launch.

WARNING: This function will abort on failure to allocate memory. not a drill, bestie. 💀

🦋 RETURNS 🦋

A pointer to a memory region which HAS NOT been zeroed. read that again: HAS NOT been zeroed. no clean slate, no free zeros, iykyk.
