◆ grow

unsigned int( * heap::grow) (size_t size)

Attempt to grow heap (optional)

Parameters

size	Failed allocation size

Return values

grown Heap has grown: retry allocations

Definition at line 66 of file malloc.h.

Referenced by heap_alloc_block().

◆ shrink

unsigned int( * heap::shrink) (void *ptr, size_t size)

Allow heap to shrink (optional)

Parameters

ptr	Start of free block
size	Size of free block

Return values

shrunk Heap has shrunk: discard block

Note that the discarded block will be accessed once after this method returns, in order to clear the free block metadata.
