free_aligned_sized
Defined in header <stdlib.h>
|
||
(since C23) | ||
If ptr is a null pointer or the result obtained from a call to aligned_alloc, where alignment is equal to the requested allocation alignment and size is equal to the requested allocation size, this function is equivalent to free(ptr). Otherwise, the behavior is undefined.
The result of an malloc, calloc, or realloc call may not be passed to free_aligned_sized
.
free_aligned_sized
is thread-safe: it behaves as though only accessing the memory locations visible through its argument, and not any static storage.
A call to free_aligned_sized
that deallocates a region of memory synchronizes-with a call to any subsequent allocation function that allocates the same or a part of the same region of memory. This synchronization occurs after any access to the memory by the deallocating function and before any access to the memory by the allocation function. There is a single total order of all allocation and deallocation functions operating on each particular region of memory.
