GC.malloc

Requests an aligned block of managed memory from the garbage collector. This memory may be deleted at will with a call to free, or it may be discarded and cleaned up automatically during a collection run. If allocation fails, this function will call onOutOfMemory which is expected to throw an OutOfMemoryError.

Parameters

sz size_t

Return Value

Type: void*

A reference to the allocated memory or null if insufficient memory is available.
