Function std::rt::heap::reallocate_inplace[src]

pub unsafe fn reallocate_inplace(ptr: *mut u8, size: uint, align: uint, old_size: uint) -> bool

Extend or shrink the allocation referenced by ptr to size bytes of memory in-place.

Return true if successful, otherwise false if the allocation was not altered.

Behavior is undefined if the requested size is 0 or the alignment is not a power of 2. The alignment must be no larger than the largest supported page size on the platform.

The old_size and align parameters are the parameters that were used to create the allocation referenced by ptr. The old_size parameter may be any value in range_inclusive(requested_size, usable_size).
