Macro yaml_malloc

macro_rules! yaml_malloc {
    ($t:ty, $size:expr) => { ... };
}

Allocates memory using the system’s malloc function.

This macro wraps the yaml_malloc function, providing a more Rust-like interface.

Arguments

• size - The number of bytes to allocate.

Returns

Returns a *mut T pointer to the allocated memory, or None if the allocation failed.

Safety

While this macro provides a safer interface than direct use of yaml_malloc, it is still unsafe because:

• It allocates uninitialized memory.
• The caller is responsible for properly freeing the allocated memory using yaml_free!.
• The caller must ensure the allocated memory is properly initialized before use.

Examples

use libyml::{yaml_malloc,yaml_free};

let size = 1024;
unsafe {
    if let Some(ptr) = yaml_malloc!(u8, size) {
        // Use the allocated memory
        // ...
        yaml_free!(ptr);
    }
}
