Function alloc

Source 
pub fn alloc(size: usize) -> Result<*mut u8, AllocationError>
Expand description
  • A reasonably safe implementation of alloc.
  • Memory allocated by this function must be freed by this crate’s free.
  • Caller guarantees free is called before the returned pointer goes out of scope.

§Errors

  • Err(ArithmeticError) is returned on integer overflow, which shouldn’t happen.
  • Err(LayoutError) is returned if sizeof(([u8; 8], usize)) isn’t a power of 2.
  • Err(OutOfMemory) is returned if alloc() returned a nullptr.
