ado_malloc()

Allocate memory

Synopsis:

#include <audio_driver.h>

void *ado_malloc( size_t size );

Arguments:

size

The amount of memory to allocate, in bytes.

Description:

The ado_malloc() macro allocates a block of memory of size bytes.

This macro is defined as ado_malloc_debug(), or malloc(), if ADO_DEBUG is defined; see “Debugging an audio driver” in the Organization of a Driver chapter.

The advantage of using the debug variant is that it tracks the memory allocated until it's freed; see ado_memory_dump().

Returns:

A pointer to the memory object that was allocated, or NULL if there wasn't enough memory available.

Classification:
