Function

GLibmem_is_system_malloc

Declaration

gboolean
g_mem_is_system_malloc (
  void
)

Description

Checks whether the allocator used by g_malloc() is the system’s malloc implementation. If it returns TRUE memory allocated with malloc() can be used interchangeably with memory allocated using g_malloc(). This function is useful for avoiding an extra copy of allocated memory returned by a non-GLib-based API.

Deprecated since:	2.46
GLib always uses the system malloc, so this function always returns `TRUE`.

Return value

Returns:	`gboolean`
	If `TRUE`, `malloc()` and `g_malloc()` can be mixed.
