Function EurekaAllocMem

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page   

AllocMem allocates a memory block and initializes each byte to zero.

 

Unit

EMemLeaks

 

Syntax

 

Code (Delphi)

function EurekaAllocMem(

Size: TIntForRealloc

): Pointer;

 

Parameters

Size [in]

A size of memory block to allocate (in bytes).

 

Return value

A pointer to allocated memory block of Size bytes. Memory block is zero-initialized.

 

Remarks

EurekaAllocMem allocates a block of the given Size on the heap, and returns the address of this memory. Each byte in the allocated buffer is set to zero. To dispose of the buffer, use EurekaFreeMem. If there is not enough memory available to allocate the block, an leOutOfMemory error is raised.

Note

If the memory does not need to be zero-initialized, you can use EurekaGetMem.

 

Note

Do not call EurekaAllocMem manually. This function will be called automatically when you call AllocMem function when EurekaLog's memory filter is installed.

 

 

Important!

EurekaAllocMem usually never returns nil nor raise exceptions. Memory allocation errors are considered to be fatal. EurekaLog will call MemLeaksError event handler to hanle memory allocation error and terminate the application. See also: MemLeaksErrorsToIgnore global variable. You can use an explicit call to EurekaTryGetMem function to allocate memory with ignoring errors.
