qalloc_free(3)

✨ NAME ✨

ok so this is the qalloc_free page, from the libqthread manual (section 3, the library calls girlies 💅). It covers three besties: qalloc_free, qalloc_dynfree, and qalloc_statfree — they're all about handing an allocated block back to the map. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, here's the vibe, verbatim bestie:

#include <qthread/qalloc.h>

void
qalloc_free (void *block, void *map);

void
qalloc_statfree (void *block, struct mapinfo_s *map);

void
qalloc_dynfree (void *block, struct dynmapinfo_s *map);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so these are the deallocation functions, periodt. Their whole job is giving an allocated memory block back to the qalloc map you point them at. 🎀

And the star of the show, qalloc_free()? She's the flexible one 💅 — she'll use whichever of the other two functions is appropriate for the given map. So like, she reads the room and picks the right one. main character energy, no cap.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

go read these next, bestie, they're all linked in the group chat:

• qalloc_cleanup(3)
• qalloc_checkpoint(3)
• qalloc_loadmap(3)
• qalloc_malloc(3)

and that's the whole page, slay ✨ this came from libqthread, dated NOVEMBER 2006 — yes she's an elder but she ate and left no crumbs 💜
