Important
This API is not CLS-compliant.
Reallocates a block of memory to be the specified size, in bytes.
public:
static void* Realloc(void* ptr, UIntPtr byteCount);[System.CLSCompliant(false)]
public static void* Realloc (void* ptr, nuint byteCount);[System.CLSCompliant(false)]
public static void* Realloc (void* ptr, UIntPtr byteCount);[<System.CLSCompliant(false)>]
static member Realloc : nativeptr<unit> * unativeint -> nativeptr<unit>Parameters
- ptr
- Void*
The previously allocated block of memory.
- byteCount
-
UIntPtr
nuint
unativeint
The size, in bytes, of the reallocated block.
Returns
A pointer to the reallocated block of memory.
- Attributes
Exceptions
Reallocating byteCount of memory failed.
Remarks
This method acts as Alloc(UIntPtr, UIntPtr) if ptr is null.
This method allows byteCount to be 0 and will return a valid pointer that should not be dereferenced and that should be passed to free to avoid memory leaks.
This method is a thin wrapper over the C realloc API.
