From: Petri Lehtinen Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2011 08:10:53 +0000 (+0200) Subject: Add custom memory allocation X-Git-Tag: v2.0~14 X-Git-Url: http://www.project-moonshot.org/gitweb/?p=jansson.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=4be9e9e7fe54ae2fe6f63d39a8209b41e878196d Add custom memory allocation Thanks to Basile Starynkevitch for the suggestion and initial patch. Thanks to Jonathan Landis and Deron Meranda for showing how this can be utilized for implementing secure memory operations. --- diff --git a/doc/apiref.rst b/doc/apiref.rst index adfd4d6..b1d5c07 100644 --- a/doc/apiref.rst +++ b/doc/apiref.rst @@ -1084,3 +1084,75 @@ copied in a recursive fashion. .. refcounting:: new Returns a deep copy of *value*, or *NULL* on error. + + +Custom memory allocation +======================== + +By default, Jansson uses :func:`malloc()` and :func:`free()` for +memory allocation.
