void ndpi_set_memory_alloction_functions(void *(*__ndpi_malloc)(size_t size), void (*__ndpi_free)(void *ptr), void *(*__ndpi_calloc)(size_t nmemb, size_t size), void *(*__ndpi_realloc)(void *ptr, size_t size), void *(*__ndpi_aligned_malloc)(size_t alignment, size_t size), void (*__ndpi_aligned_free)(void *ptr), void *(*__ndpi_flow_malloc)(size_t size), void (*__ndpi_flow_free)(void *ptr))

Set custom memory allocation functions for nDPI’s general memory allocator.

This function is optional, but if used, it MUST be called before ANY other nDPI functions!!

The first 4 parameters are mandatory. If you want to set a custom allocator for aligned memory, you must specify __ndpi_aligned_malloc and __ndpi_aligned_free, both If you want to set a custom allocator for flow memory, you must specify __ndpi_flow_malloc and __ndpi_flow_free, both

Flow memory can use a separate allocator from general memory for better memory management in high-throughput scenarios.

Parameters:

• __ndpi_malloc – Function pointer to the custom malloc implementation

• __ndpi_free – Function pointer to the custom free implementation

• __ndpi_calloc – Function pointer to the custom calloc implementation

• __ndpi_realloc – Function pointer to the custom realloc implementation

• __ndpi_aligned_malloc – Function pointer to the custom aligned allocation implementation

• __ndpi_aligned_free – Function pointer to the custom aligned free implementation

• __ndpi_flow_malloc – Function pointer to the custom allocation of flows

• __ndpi_flow_free – Function pointer to the custom free of flows
