SPI_REPALLOC(3)

✨ SPI_repalloc ✨

bestie, welcome to the SPI_repalloc(3) page from the PostgreSQL 14.24 Documentation — we’re doing upper-executor-context memory reallocation and it’s lowkey iconic 💅

💖 NAME 💖

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. literally that’s the vibe.

and here’s the tea: this function is no longer different from plain repalloc. it’s kept just for backward compatibility of existing code, periodt 💀

🎀 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 🫶

that’s the whole page, bestie — xoxo from the PostgreSQL 14.24 docs, dated 2026 🎀✨
