coap_memory_tag_t

enum coap_memory_tag_t

Type specifiers for coap_malloc_type().

Memory objects can be typed to facilitate arrays of type objects to be used instead of dynamic memory management on constrained devices.

Function Documentation

coap_free()

COAP_STATIC_INLINE void coap_free

(

void *

object

)

Wrapper function to coap_free_type() for backwards compatibility.

Definition at line 82 of file mem.h.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

coap_free_type()

void coap_free_type	(	coap_memory_tag_t	type,
		void *	p
	)

Releases the memory that was allocated by coap_malloc_type().

The type tag type must be the same that was used for allocating the object pointed to by .

Parameters

type	The type of the object to release.
p	A pointer to memory that was allocated by coap_malloc_type().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

coap_malloc()

COAP_STATIC_INLINE void* coap_malloc

(

size_t

size

)

Wrapper function to coap_malloc_type() for backwards compatibility.

Definition at line 75 of file mem.h.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

coap_malloc_type()

void* coap_malloc_type	(	coap_memory_tag_t	type,
		size_t	size
	)

Allocates a chunk of size bytes and returns a pointer to the newly allocated memory.

The type is used to select the appropriate storage container on constrained devices. The storage allocated by coap_malloc_type() must be released with coap_free_type().

Parameters

type	The type of object to be stored.
size	The number of bytes requested.

Returns

A pointer to the allocated storage or NULL on error.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

coap_memory_init()

void coap_memory_init

(

void

)

Initializes libcoap's memory management.

This function must be called once before coap_malloc() can be used on constrained devices.
