nn::fnd::ExpHeapTemplate::Allocate Member Function

void * Allocate(
     size_t byteSize,
     s32 alignment = DEFAULT_ALIGNMENT,
     bit8 groupId = 0,
     AllocationMode mode = ALLOCATION_MODE_FIRST_FIT,
     bool reuse = false
);

	Name	Description
in	byteSize	Specifies the size (in bytes) of the memory block to allocate.
in	alignment	Specifies the alignment. You can specify a power of two between -128 and 128 with an absolute value of 4 or greater.
in	groupId	Specifies the group ID.
in	mode	Specifies the mode to use for memory block allocation.
in	reuse	Specifies whether to reuse the gaps in memory that occur during alignment.

Returns the starting address of the allocated memory block.

Allocates memory from the expanded heap.

The following values can be specified in alignment: -128, -64, -32, -16, -8, -4, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128.

This function starts searching at the beginning of the heap if alignment is positive or at the end of the heap if alignment is negative and then allocates the free region that it finds.

2010/10/27

Because a problem with memory leak was discovered when values greater than 128 was specified with alignment, the value range was restored to -128 to 128.

2010/09/17

Changed the values that can be specified for alignment to the range between -4096 and 4096. Added information on the meanings of positive and negative alignment values.

2010/05/21

Changed valid values for alignment to -128 through 128.
