_aligned_realloc

Changes the size of a memory block that was allocated with _aligned_malloc or _aligned_offset_malloc.

void * _aligned_realloc(
   void *memblock, 
   size_t size, 
   size_t alignment
);

Parameters

  • [in] memblock
    The current memory block pointer.

  • [in] size
    The size of the requested memory allocation.

  • [in] alignment
    The alignment value, which must be an integer power of 2.

Return Value

_aligned_realloc returns a void pointer to the reallocated (and possibly moved) memory block. The return value is NULL if the size is zero and the buffer argument is not NULL, or if there is not enough available memory to expand the block to the given size. In the first case, the original block is freed. In the second, the original block is unchanged. The return value points to a storage space that is guaranteed to be suitably aligned for storage of any type of object. To get a pointer to a type other than void, use a type cast on the return value.

It is an error to reallocate memory and change the alignment of a block.

Remarks

_aligned_realloc is based on malloc. For more information about using _aligned_offset_malloc, see malloc.

This function sets errno to ENOMEM if the memory allocation failed or if the requested size was greater than _HEAP_MAXREQ. For more information about errno, see errno, _doserrno, _sys_errlist, and _sys_nerr. Also, _aligned_realloc validates its parameters. If alignment is not a power of 2, this function invokes the invalid parameter handler, as described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, this function returns NULL and sets errno to EINVAL.
