4.1. CONVENIENCE ALLOCATION PROGRAMS (ALLOC.C) 37
Input parameters
n
number of elements (size t).
Output
ptr
a void pointer pointing to the allocated block of memory.
4.1.9 sf complexalloc
Allocates the memory for the sf complex type, that is, the size of the elements is, for
example sizeof(sf complex).
Call
ptr = sf_complexalloc (n);
Definition
sf_complex *sf_complexalloc (size_t n /* number of elements */)
/*< complex allocation >*/
{
...
}
Input parameters
n
number of elements (size t).
Output
ptr
a void pointer pointing to the allocated block of memory.
4.1.10 sf complexalloc2
Allocates a 2D array in the memory for the sf complex type. It works just like sf complexalloc
but does it for two dimensions. This is done by making a pointer point to another pointer,
