GLib.memdup (original) (raw)
Function
GLibmemdup
deprecated: 2.68
Declaration [src]
gpointer
g_memdup (
gconstpointer mem,
guint byte_size
)
Description [src]
Allocates byte_size bytes of memory, and copies byte_size bytes into it from mem. If mem is NULL it returns NULL.
Deprecated since: 2.68
Use g_memdup2() instead, as it accepts a gsize argument for byte_size, avoiding the possibility of overflow in a gsize → guint conversion.

Return value
Type: gpointer
A pointer to the newly-allocated copy of the memory.
