NAME

IritMalloc()  

SYNOPSIS

misc_lib/imalloc.c:235

VoidPtr IritMalloc(unsigned Size, char *ObjType, char *FileName, int LineNum)
VoidPtr IritMalloc(unsigned Size)
 

DESCRIPTION

Routine to allocate dynamic memory for all IRIT program/tool/libraries. All requests for dynamic memory should invoke this function. If the environment variable "IRIT_MALLOC" is set when an IRIT program is executed, the consistency of the dynamic memory is tested on every invokation of this routine. See IritTestAllDynMemory function for more.  

PARAMETERS:

Size: Size of block to allocate, in bytes.

ObjType: This variable exists iff "#define MALLOC_DEBUG_INFO". This holds the object descriptions.

FileName: This variable exists iff "#define MALLOC_DEBUG_INFO". This holds the file name where the call is invoked from.

LineNum: This variable exists iff "#define MALLOC_DEBUG_INFO". This holds the line number where the call is invoked from.  

FUNCTION RETURN VALUE

VoidPtr: A pointer to the allocated block. A function calling this may assume return value will never be NULL, since no more memory cases are trapped locally.
