The returned pointer will contain the +same content as +.IR ptr , +but truncated to +.I n +bytes if it is smaller or with the new bytes +unitialised if it is larger. If a new pointer +is returned, rather than +.IR ptr , +.I ptr +is deallocated; +.I ptr +is deallocated on failure. The function +.BR free (3) +shall be called with the returned pointer as +input when the allocated memory is no longer needed. +.PP +If +.I n +is 0, +.I ptr +is deallocaed and +.B NULL +is returned, however portable applications should, +unless the namespaced alias is used, assume the +behaviour is unspecifed in this case. +.SH RETURN VALUE +The +.BR libsimple_aligned_reallocf (), +function returns a pointer to the allocated memory +upon success completion; otherwise the +.BR libsimple_aligned_reallocf () +function returns +.B NULL +and set +.I errno +it indicate the error. +.SH ERRORS +The +.BR libsimple_aligned_reallocf () +function will fail for the reasons specified for the +.BR realloc (3) +function, and if: +.TP +.B EINVAL +.I alignment +is an invalid alignment (usually it needs to be an power of 2). +.TP +.B ENOSYS +The function is not implemented. The function requires +non-standard libc functions, and is therefore not supported +for all libc implementations. + +The function is implemented if and only if the macro +.B LIBSIMPLE_HAVE_ALIGNED_REALLOC +is defined by the library. +.SH ATTRIBUTES +For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see +.BR attributes (7). +.TS +allbox; +lb lb lb +l l l. +Interface Attribute Value +T{ +.BR libsimple_aligned_reallocf () +T} Thread safety MT-Safe +T{ +.BR libsimple_aligned_reallocf () +T} Async-signal safety AS-Safe +T{ +.BR libsimple_aligned_reallocf () +T} Async-cancel safety AC-Safe +.TE +.SH EXAMPLES +None. +.SH APPLICATION USAGE +None. +.SH RATIONALE +None. +.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS +None. +.SH NOTES +None. +.SH BUGS +None. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR libsimple_enmalloc (3), +.BR libsimple_mallocz (3), +.BR libsimple_vmallocn (3), +.BR libsimple_vmalloczn (3), +.BR libsimple_encalloc (3), +.BR libsimple_vcallocn (3), +.BR libsimple_enrealloc (3), +.BR libsimple_reallocarray (3), +.BR libsimple_vreallocn (3), +.BR libsimple_reallocf (3), +.BR libsimple_reallocarrayf (3), +.BR libsimple_vreallocfn (3), +.BR libsimple_aligned_realloc (3), +.BR libsimple_aligned_reallocarray (3), +.BR libsimple_aligned_vreallocn (3), +.BR libsimple_aligned_reallocarrayf (3), +.BR libsimple_aligned_vreallocfn (3), +.BR libsimple_memalign (3), +.BR libsimple_memalignz (3), +.BR libsimple_vmemalignn (3), +.BR libsimple_vmemalignzn (3), +.BR libsimple_enposix_memalign (3), +.BR libsimple_posix_memalignz (3), +.BR libsimple_vposix_memalignn (3), +.BR libsimple_vposix_memalignzn (3), +.BR libsimple_enaligned_alloc (3), +.BR libsimple_aligned_allocz (3), +.BR libsimple_valigned_allocn (3), +.BR libsimple_valigned_alloczn (3), +.BR libsimple_pvalloc (3), +.BR libsimple_pvallocz (3), +.BR libsimple_vpvallocn (3), +.BR libsimple_vpvalloczn (3), +.BR libsimple_valloc (3), +.BR libsimple_vallocz (3), +.BR libsimple_vvallocn (3), +.BR libsimple_vvalloczn (3), +.BR libsimple_vmemalloc (3), +.BR libsimple_varrayalloc (3), +.BR malloc (3) |
