id | Arena ID of the arena associated with the heap from which a region will be reserved |
heap | Handle of the heap from which a region will be reserved |
size | Size of the region you want to reserve (bytes) |
If a region was allocated, the region's start address is returned.
If it was not possible to allocate a region, NULL
is returned.
Allocates a memory block from a heap
In OS_AllocFromHeap
, you must specify the handle of the allocating heap and the arena ID of the arena that is associated with that heap. The arena is specified with the arena ID (id). For more information, see OS_InitArena()
.
If OS_CURRENT_HEAP_HANDLE
is specified as the heap handle, it will be assumed that the arena's current heap is being specified.
The secure memory domain is aligned at 32 bytes.

Caution: When trying to allocate a 0–byte region, DEBUG
build stops at ASSERT
. In other builds, the operation is undefined.
