3.11.8 omp_calloc – Allocate nullified memory with an allocator ¶

Description:

Allocate zero-initialized memory with the specified allocator, which can either be a predefined allocator, an allocator handle or omp_null_allocator. If the allocators is omp_null_allocator, the allocator specified by the def-allocator-var ICV is used. The to-be allocated memory is for an array with nmemb elements, each having a size of size bytes. Both nmemb and size must be nonnegative numbers; if either of them is zero, omp_calloc will return a null pointer. If successful, a pointer to the zero-initialized allocated memory is returned, otherwise the fallback trait of the allocator determines the behavior.

In target regions, either the dynamic_allocators clause must appear on a requires directive in the same compilation unit – or the allocator argument may only be a constant expression with the value of one of the predefined allocators and may not be omp_null_allocator.

Memory allocated by omp_calloc must be freed using omp_free.

C:

Prototype:	void* omp_calloc(size_t nmemb, size_t size,
	omp_allocator_handle_t allocator)

C++:

Prototype:	void* omp_calloc(size_t nmemb, size_t size,
	omp_allocator_handle_t allocator=omp_null_allocator)

Fortran:

Interface:	type(c_ptr) function omp_calloc(nmemb, size, allocator) bind(C)
	use, intrinsic :: iso_c_binding, only : c_ptr, c_size_t
	integer (c_size_t), value :: nmemb, size
	integer (omp_allocator_handle_kind), value :: allocator
