Detailed Description

Interfaces for writing custom memory managers.

Create and set a custom memory manager by first defining the relevant closures for each required function, for example:

af_err my_initialize(af_memory_manager manager) {
    void* myPayload = malloc(sizeof(MyPayload_t));
    af_memory_manager_set_payload(manager, myPayload);
    // ...
}
 
af_err my_allocated(af_memory_manager handle, size_t* size, void* ptr) {
    void* myPayload;
    af_memory_manager_get_payload(manager, &myPayload);
    // ...
}

Create an af_memory_manager and attach relevant closures:

af_memory_manager manager;
af_create_memory_manager(&manager);
 
af_memory_manager_set_initialize_fn(manager, my_initialize);
af_memory_manager_set_allocated_fn(manager, my_allocated);
 
// ...

Set the memory manager to be active, which shuts down the existing memory manager:

af_set_memory_manager(manager);

Unset to re-create and reset an instance of the default memory manager:

af_unset_memory_manager();
