Parameters
pmemPointer to memory block to check
memsizSize of the memory block
Returns
Boolean result: true if memory is all zero

◆ rtxMemReset()

void rtxMemReset ( OSCTXT pctxt)

Reset memory associated with a context. This macro resets all memory held within a context. This is all memory allocated using the rtxMemAlloc (and similar macros) and the rtxMem memory allocation functions using the given context variable.

The difference between this and the OSMEMFREE macro is that the memory blocks held within the context are not actually freed. Internal pointers are reset so the existing blocks can be reused. This can provide a performace improvement for repetitive tasks such as decoding messages in a loop.

Parameters
pctxt- Pointer to a context block

Referenced by OSRTContext::memReset().

◆ rtxMemSetAllocFuncs()

void rtxMemSetAllocFuncs ( OSMallocFunc  malloc_func,
OSReallocFunc  realloc_func,
OSFreeFunc  free_func 
)

This function sets the pointers to standard allocation functions. These functions are used to allocate/reallocate/free memory blocks. By default, standard C functions - 'malloc', 'realloc' and 'free' - are used. But if some platforms do not support these functions (or some other reasons exist) they can be overloaded. The functions being overloaded should have the same prototypes as the standard functions.

Parameters
malloc_funcPointer to the memory allocation function ('malloc' by default).
realloc_funcPointer to the memory reallocation function ('realloc' by default).
free_funcPointer to the memory deallocation function ('free' by default).

◆ rtxMemSetDefBlkSize()

void rtxMemSetDefBlkSize ( OSUINT32  blkSize)

This function sets the minimum size and the granularity of memory blocks for newly created memory heaps.

Parameters
blkSizeThe minimum size and the granularity of memory blocks.

◆ rtxMemStaticHeapCreate()

int rtxMemStaticHeapCreate ( void **  ppvMemHeap,
void *  pmem,
OSSIZE  memsize 
)

This function creates a static memory heap. All allocations are done from the static block of memory that is provided. It is much faster than the standard management but has some limitations such as the inability to free individual pointer values. All memory in the block must be freed at once.

Parameters
ppvMemHeapPointer-to-pointer to variable to receive created object.
pmemPointer to static memory block to use for allocations.
memsizeSizeof the memory block in bytes.
Returns
Status of the creation operation: 0 = success or RTERR-NOMEM if no memory available.
