Function
GLibslice_alloc
since: 2.10
Description
Allocates a block of memory from the slice allocator.
The block address handed out can be expected to be aligned
to at least 1 * sizeof (void*)
, though in general slices
are 2 * sizeof (void*)
bytes aligned; if a malloc()
fallback implementation is used instead, the alignment may
be reduced in a libc dependent fashion.
Note that the underlying slice allocation mechanism can
be changed with the [G_SLICE=always-malloc
][G_SLICE]
environment variable.
