Function Macro

GLibslice_dup

since: 2.14

Declaration 

#define g_slice_dup (
  type,
  mem
)

Description

A convenience macro to duplicate a block of memory using the slice allocator.

It calls g_slice_copy() with sizeof (type) and casts the returned pointer to a pointer of the given type, avoiding a type cast in the source code.

This can never return NULL.

Since GLib 2.76 this always uses the system malloc() implementation internally.

Available since: 2.14

This function is not directly available to language bindings.

Parameters

type

Type: -

The type to duplicate, typically a structure name.

mem

Type: -

The memory to copy into the allocated block.
