#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

void * SDL_malloc(size_t size);

The allocated memory returned by this function must be freed with

SDL_free ().

If size is 0, it will be set to 1.

If the allocation is successful, the returned pointer is guaranteed to be aligned to either the fundamental alignment ( alignof(max_align_t) in C11 and later) or 2 sizeof(void ) , whichever is smaller. Use

SDL_aligned_alloc () if you need to allocate memory aligned to an alignment greater than this guarantee.

size

the size to allocate.

Returns a pointer to the allocated memory, or NULL if allocation failed.

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
