buffer_malloc()

void * buffer_malloc

(

size_t

length

)

malloc implementation used for allocating buffer space.

Override the weak definition if the buffer space should be allocated from some other place than the heap. Useful for MCUs with multiple memory banks.

Parameters

length

how much memory to allocate (in bytes)

Returns

pointer to allcoated memory

malloc implementation used for allocating buffer space.

Overrides the (weak) definition to put it to a separate RAM segment and leave more heap space free.

Parameters

size	in bytes, how large chunk we should allocate.

Returns

a newly allocated buffer. Cannot be freed.
