SDL_MALLOC - Man Page
A macro to tag a function as an allocator.
Header File
Defined in SDL3/SDL_begin_code.h
Synopsis
#include "SDL3/SDL.h" #define SDL_MALLOC __declspec(allocator) __desclspec(restrict)
Description
This is a hint to the compiler that a function is an allocator, like malloc(), with certain rules. A description of how GCC treats this hint is here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Function-Attributes.html#index-malloc-function-attribute
On compilers without allocator tag support, this is defined to nothing.
Most apps don't need to, and should not, use this directly.
Availability
This macro is available since SDL 3.2.0.
