Memory management

1. qmckl_malloc
- 1.1. Header
- 1.2. Source
2. qmckl_free
- 2.1. Header
- 2.2. Source

We override the allocation functions to enable the possibility of optimized libraries to fine-tune the memory allocation.

3 files are produced:

a header file : qmckl_memory.h
a source file : qmckl_memory.c
a test file : test_qmckl_memory.c

1 `qmckl_malloc`

Analogous of malloc, but passing a context and a signed 64-bit integers as argument.

1.1 Header

void* qmckl_malloc(const qmckl_context ctx, const size_t size);

1.2 Source

void* qmckl_malloc(const qmckl_context ctx, const size_t size) {
  if (ctx == (qmckl_context) 0) {
    /* Avoids unused parameter error */
    return malloc( (size_t) size );
  }
  return malloc( (size_t) size );
}

2 `qmckl_free`

2.1 Header

void qmckl_free(void *ptr);

2.2 Source

void qmckl_free(void *ptr) {
  free(ptr);
}
