std/mem

std/mem is intended for explicit low-level work inside unsafe.

API

pub ext fun malloc(size: Int) *Void;
pub ext fun calloc(count: Int, size: Int) *Void;
pub ext fun realloc(ptr: *Void, size: Int) *Void;
pub ext fun free(ptr: *Void) Void;

Example

import "std/mem";

fun main() Int {
    unsafe {
        var ptr: *Int = mem.malloc(2 * 8) as *Int;
        if ptr == null {
            return 1;
        }

        *ptr = 5;
        *(ptr + 1) = 7;
        mem.free(ptr as *Void);
        return 0;
    }
}
