<p>The boolean <code>clear</code> parameter specifies whether the buffer should be initialized. If clear is <code>true</code>, all bits in the buffer are to be set to 0 (zero); if clear is <code>false</code>, the buffer will not be initialized.</p>
<p>This function is intended to have the semantics of malloc() and calloc(). However, unlike malloc() and calloc(), which allow for a "special" pointer to be returned instead of NULL, this function always returns NULL on failure or when size is set to 0 (zero).</p>
<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd>At this time, the only intended use for this function is to allocate memory that will be returned to the library as a data buffer from a third-party filter.</dd></dl>
<dl class="section attention"><dt>Attention</dt><dd>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 the memory that the user allocated. This function allows the user to safely allocate this memory.<br />
It is particularly important to use this function to allocate memory in Microsoft Windows environments. In Windows, the C standard library is implemented in dynamic link libraries (DLLs) known as the C run-time (CRT). Each version of Visual Studio comes with multiple versions of the CRT DLLs (debug, release, et cetera) and allocating and freeing memory across DLL boundaries can cause resource leaks and subtle bugs due to heap corruption.<br />
Even when using this function, it is best where possible to ensure that all components of a C application are built with the same version of Visual Studio and configuration (Debug or Release), and thus linked against the same CRT.<br />
Use this function only to allocate memory inside third-party HDF5 filters. It will generally not be safe to use this function to allocate memory for any other purpose.</dd></dl>

<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd>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.</dd></dl>
<dl class="section attention"><dt>Attention</dt><dd>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.<br />
It is particularly important to use this function to resize memory on Microsoft Windows systems. In Windows, the C standard library is implemented in dynamic link libraries (DLLs) known as the C run-time (CRT). Each version of Visual Studio comes with multiple versions of the CRT DLLs (debug, release, et cetera) and allocating and freeing memory across DLL boundaries can cause resource leaks and subtle bugs due to heap corruption.<br />
Even when using this function, it is still best to ensure that all components of a C application are built with the same version of Visual Studio and the same configuration (Debug or Release), and thus linked against the same CRT.<br />
Only use this function to resize memory inside third-party HDF5 filters. It will generally not be safe to use this function to resize memory for any other purpose.</dd></dl>

<p><a class="el" href="#gaa3f78b24b8a1ff4168db2b7ddca21545" title="Sets free-list size limits.">H5set_free_list_limits()</a> sets size limits on all types of free lists. The HDF5 library uses free lists internally to manage memory. The types of free lists used are as follows: </p><ul>
<li>Regular free lists manage memory for single internal data structures. </li>
<li>Array free lists manage memory for arrays of internal data structures. </li>
<li>Block free lists manage memory for arbitrarily-sized blocks of bytes. </li>
<li>Factory free lists manage memory for fixed-size blocks of bytes.</li>
</ul>
<p>The parameters specify global and per-list limits; for example, <code>reg_global_limit</code> and <code>reg_list_limit</code> limit the accumulated size of all regular free lists and the size of each individual regular free list, respectively. Therefore, if an application sets a 1Mb limit on each of the global lists, up to 4Mb of total storage might be allocated, 1Mb for each of the regular, array, block, and factory type lists.</p>
<p>The settings specified for block free lists are duplicated for factory free lists. Therefore, increasing the global limit on block free lists by x bytes will increase the potential free list memory usage by 2x bytes.</p>
<p>Using a value of -1 for a limit means that no limit is set for the specified type of free list.</p>
