Detailed Description

Contains function pointers used to configure a custom allocator for image buffers.

Field Documentation

bool(* allocate_buffer) (void *context, size_t buffer_size, size_t alignment, void **buffer_ptr, void **user_data)

Requests the allocator to allocate a memory buffer.

Parameters

[in]	context	The `allocator_context` parameter that was passed to the sink creation function
[in]	buffer_size	The size of the requested memory buffer
[in]	alignment	Requests memory to be allocated on a specific alignment boundary. This value is always a power of 2.
[out]	buffer_ptr	A pointer to a pointer that receives the address of the newly-allocated buffer
[out]	user_data	User data to attach to the buffer. The user data is passed to free_buffer when the allocated memory is freed again.

Returns: true on success. If the allocation could not be performed, return false.

void(* free_buffer) (void *context, void *buffer_ptr, void *user_data)

Requests the allocator to free a previously-allocated memory buffer.

Parameters

[in]	context	The `allocator_context` parameter that was passed to the sink creation function
[in]	buffer_ptr	Pointer to the memory buffer to be freed
[in]	user_data	The user data that was returned from allocate_buffer when the memory buffer was allocated

void(* release) (void *context)

Notifies the user that the allocator will not receive any additional callback function calls.

Any resources attached to the context parameter can be released.

Parameters

[in] context The allocator_context parameter that was passed to the sink creation function.

Note: The release callback function is executed on the thread that destroys the sink using the final call to ic4_sink_unref().
