SPI_REPALLOC(3)

💖 NAME 💖

SPI_repalloc — reallocate memory in the upper executor context.

okay so this is the SPI_REPALLOC(3) page from the PostgreSQL 15.19 Documentation, bestie, and it's literally here to explain one little memory-resizing function. no cap. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void * SPI_repalloc(void * pointer, Size size)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

SPI_repalloc changes the size of a memory segment previously allocated using SPI_palloc. it's giving “resize that memory, bestie.” 💅

This function is no longer different from plain repalloc. It's kept just for backward compatibility of existing code. so yeah, it's iconic but also lowkey just hanging around for old code's sake. 🫶

🌸 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. you get the new space, and the old contents come along with it — slay. 💖
