pub unsafe extern "C" fn randomx_alloc_cache(
flags: randomx_flags,
) -> *mut randomx_cacheExpand description
Creates a randomx_cache structure and allocates memory for RandomX Cache.
@param flags is any combination of these 2 flags (each flag can be set or not set):
RANDOMX_FLAG_LARGE_PAGES - allocate memory in large pages
RANDOMX_FLAG_JIT - create cache structure with JIT compilation support; this makes
subsequent Dataset initialization faster
Optionally, one of these two flags may be selected:
RANDOMX_FLAG_ARGON2_SSSE3 - optimized Argon2 for CPUs with the SSSE3 instruction set
makes subsequent cache initialization faster
RANDOMX_FLAG_ARGON2_AVX2 - optimized Argon2 for CPUs with the AVX2 instruction set
makes subsequent cache initialization faster
@return Pointer to an allocated randomx_cache structure.
Returns NULL if:
(1) memory allocation fails
(2) the RANDOMX_FLAG_JIT is set and JIT compilation is not supported on the current platform
(3) an invalid or unsupported RANDOMX_FLAG_ARGON2 value is set
