4.1. CONVENIENCE ALLOCATION PROGRAMS (ALLOC.C) 45
n4
number of elements in the slower dimension (size t).
Output
ptr
a void pointer pointing to the allocated block of memory.
4.1.19 sf floatalloc5
Allocates a 5D array in the memory for the float type. It works just like sf floatalloc2
but does it for four dimensions. This is done by extending the same argument as for
sf floatalloc2 but this time making a pointer such that Pointer4 -> Pointer3 ->
Pointer2 -> Pointer1 -> Pointer. n1 is the fastest dimension.
Call
ptr = sf_floatalloc5 (n1, n2, n3, n4, n5);
