astatic

Category: array
GitHub: cute_array.h

---

Creates an array with an initial static storage backing. Will grow onto the heap if the size becomes too large.

#define astatic(a, buffer, buffer_size) cf_array_static(a, buffer, buffer_size)

Parameters	Description
a	The array. Can be NULL.
buffer	An initial buffer of memory to store the array within.
buffer_size	The size of buffer in bytes.

Return Value

Returns a pointer to a. a will automatically be reassigned to any new pointer.

Remarks

This macro is useful as an optimization to avoid any dynamic memory allocation in the common case for implementing certain data structures (such as strings or stack vectors). As the array grows too large for the buffer it will dynamically grow into the heap.
