Function Macro
GLibslice_new
since: 2.10
Description
A convenience macro to allocate a block of memory from the slice allocator.
It calls g_slice_alloc()
with sizeof (
type)
and casts the
returned pointer to a pointer of the given type, avoiding a type
cast in the source code. Note that the underlying slice allocation
mechanism can be changed with the [G_SLICE=always-malloc
][G_SLICE]
environment variable.
This can never return NULL
as the minimum allocation size from
sizeof (
type)
is 1 byte.
