|
|
<p>These are functions that behave identically to <code>malloc</code> and
|
|
<code>free</code>, except that they guarantee that the returned pointer obeys
|
|
any special alignment restrictions imposed by any algorithm in FFTW
|
|
(e.g. for SIMD acceleration). See <a href="SIMD-alignment-and-fftw_005fmalloc.html">SIMD alignment and fftw_malloc</a>.
|
|
<span id="index-alignment"></span>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Data allocated by <code>fftw_malloc</code> <em>must</em> be deallocated by
|
|
<code>fftw_free</code> and not by the ordinary <code>free</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>These routines simply call through to your operating system’s
|
|
<code>malloc</code> or, if necessary, its aligned equivalent
|
|
(e.g. <code>memalign</code>), so you normally need not worry about any
|
|
significant time or space overhead. You are <em>not required</em> to use
|
|
them to allocate your data, but we strongly recommend it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Note: in C++, just as with ordinary <code>malloc</code>, you must typecast
|
|
the output of <code>fftw_malloc</code> to whatever pointer type you are
|
|
allocating.
|
|
<span id="index-C_002b_002b-4"></span>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We also provide the following two convenience functions to allocate
|
|
real and complex arrays with <code>n</code> elements, which are equivalent
|
|
to <code>(double *) fftw_malloc(sizeof(double) * n)</code> and
|
|
<code>(fftw_complex *) fftw_malloc(sizeof(fftw_complex) * n)</code>,
|
|
respectively:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">double *fftw_alloc_real(size_t n);
|
|
fftw_complex *fftw_alloc_complex(size_t n);
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<span id="index-fftw_005falloc_005freal-1"></span>
|
|
<span id="index-fftw_005falloc_005fcomplex-2"></span>
|
|
|
|
<p>The equivalent functions in other precisions allocate arrays of <code>n</code>
|
|
elements in that precision. e.g. <code>fftwf_alloc_real(n)</code> is
|
|
equivalent to <code>(float *) fftwf_malloc(sizeof(float) * n)</code>.
