GLibmemdup

deprecated: 2.68

gpointer
g_memdup (
  gconstpointer mem,
  guint byte_size
)

Allocates byte_size bytes of memory, and copies byte_size bytes into it from mem. If mem is NULL it returns NULL.

Deprecated since: 2.68

Use g_memdup2() instead, as it accepts a #gsize argument for byte_size, avoiding the possibility of overflow in a #gsize → #guint conversion.
