If necessary, the buffer * is reallocated. If \p size is 0, the buffer is released. * * The input buffer must either be NULL or have been allocated by * H5allocate_memory() since the input buffer may be freed by the * library. * * For certain behaviors, the pointer \p mem may be passed in as NULL. * * This function is intended to have the semantics of realloc(): * * * * * * * * * * *
\Code{H5resize_memory(buffer, size)}Resizes buffer. Returns pointer to resized buffer.
\Code{H5resize_memory(NULL, size)}Allocates memory using HDF5 Library allocator. * Returns pointer to new buffer
\Code{H5resize_memory(buffer, 0)}Frees memory using HDF5 Library allocator. * Returns NULL.
\Code{H5resize_memory(NULL, 0)}Returns NULL (undefined in C standard).
* * Unlike realloc(), which allows for a "special pointer to be * returned instead of NULL, this function always returns NULL on * failure or when size is 0 (zero). * * \note At this time, the only intended use for this function is to resize or * reallocate memory that will be returned to the library (and eventually * to the user) as a data buffer from a third-party HDF5 filter. * * \attention To avoid heap corruption, allocated memory should be freed using * the same library that initially allocated it. In most cases, the * HDF5 API uses resources that are allocated and freed either * entirely by the user or entirely by the library, so this is not a * problem. In rare cases, however, HDF5 API calls will free memory * that the user allocated. This function allows the user to safely * allocate this memory.\n * It is particularly important to use this function to resize * memory on Microsoft Windows systems.
