=head1 NAME
FFI::Platypus::Memory - Memory functions for FFI
=head1 VERSION
version 1.34
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use FFI::Platypus::Memory;
# allocate 64 bytes of memory using the
# libc malloc function.
my $pointer = malloc 64;
# use that memory wisely
...
# free the memory when you are done.
free $pointer;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides an interface to common memory functions provided by
the standard C library. They may be useful when constructing interfaces
to C libraries with FFI. It works mostly with the C<opaque> type and it
is worth reviewing the section on opaque pointers in L<FFI::Platypus::Type>.
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=head2 calloc
my $pointer = calloc $count, $size;
The C<calloc> function contiguously allocates enough space for I<$count>
objects that are I<$size> bytes of memory each.
=head2 free
free $pointer;
The C<free> function frees the memory allocated by C<malloc>, C<calloc>,
C<realloc> or C<strdup>. It is important to only free memory that you
yourself have allocated. A good way to crash your program is to try and
free a pointer that some C library has returned to you.
=head2 malloc
my $pointer = malloc $size;
The C<malloc> function allocates I<$size> bytes of memory.
=head2 memcpy
memcpy $dst_pointer, $src_pointer, $size;
The C<memcpy> function copies I<$size> bytes from I<$src_pointer> to
I<$dst_pointer>. It also returns I<$dst_pointer>.
=head2 memset
memset $buffer, $value, $length;
The C<memset> function writes I<$length> bytes of I<$value> to the address
specified by I<$buffer>.
=head2 realloc
my $new_pointer = realloc $old_pointer, $size;
The C<realloc> function reallocates enough memory to fit I<$size> bytes.
It copies the existing data and frees I<$old_pointer>.
If you pass C<undef> in as I<$old_pointer>, then it behaves exactly like
C<malloc>:
my $pointer = realloc undef, 64; # same as malloc 64
=head2 strcpy
strcpy $opaque, $string;
Copies the string to the memory location pointed to by C<$opaque>.
=head2 strdup
my $pointer = strdup $string;
The C<strdup> function allocates enough memory to contain I<$string> and
then copies it to that newly allocated memory. This version of
C<strdup> returns an opaque pointer type, not a string type. This may
seem a little strange, but returning a string type would not be very
useful in Perl.
=head2 strndup
my $pointer = strndup $string, $max;
The same as C<strdup> above, except at most C<$max> characters will be
copied in the new string.
