bson_array_alloc()

Synopsis

#define BSON_ARRAY_ALLOC(Count, Type) \
   (Type*) bson_array_alloc (Count, sizeof (Type))

void *
bson_array_alloc (size_t num_elems, size_t elem_size);

Parameters

• num_elems: A size_t containing the number of objects to allocate.

• elem_size: A size_t containing the size of each object in bytes.

Description

This is a portable malloc() wrapper to allocate an array of objects.

If num_elems * elem_size cannot be represented in a size_t or there was a failure to allocate num_elems * elem_size bytes, the process will be aborted.

Warning

This function will abort on failure to allocate memory.

Returns

A pointer to a memory region which HAS NOT been zeroed.
