Detailed Description

Function Documentation

NT_AllocateBooleanArray()

NT_Bool * NT_AllocateBooleanArray

(

size_t

size

)

Allocates an array of booleans.

Note that the size is the number of elements, and not the specific number of bytes to allocate. That is calculated internally.

Parameters

size	the number of elements the array will contain

Returns

the allocated boolean array

After use, the array should be freed using the NT_FreeBooleanArray() function.

NT_AllocateCharArray()

char * NT_AllocateCharArray

(

size_t

size

)

Allocates an array of chars.

Note that the size is the number of elements, and not the specific number of bytes to allocate. That is calculated internally.

Parameters

size	the number of elements the array will contain

Returns

the allocated char array

After use, the array should be freed using the NT_FreeCharArray() function.

NT_AllocateDoubleArray()

double * NT_AllocateDoubleArray

(

size_t

size

)

Allocates an array of doubles.

Note that the size is the number of elements, and not the specific number of bytes to allocate. That is calculated internally.

Parameters

size	the number of elements the array will contain

Returns

the allocated double array

After use, the array should be freed using the NT_FreeDoubleArray() function.

NT_AllocateFloatArray()

float * NT_AllocateFloatArray

(

size_t

size

)

Allocates an array of floats.

Note that the size is the number of elements, and not the specific number of bytes to allocate. That is calculated internally.

Parameters

size	the number of elements the array will contain

Returns

the allocated double array

After use, the array should be freed using the NT_FreeFloatArray() function.

NT_AllocateIntegerArray()

int64_t * NT_AllocateIntegerArray

(

size_t

size

)

Allocates an array of ints.

Note that the size is the number of elements, and not the specific number of bytes to allocate. That is calculated internally.

Parameters

size	the number of elements the array will contain

Returns

the allocated double array

After use, the array should be freed using the NT_FreeIntArray() function.

NT_AllocateStringArray()

struct NT_String * NT_AllocateStringArray

(

size_t

size

)

Allocates an array of NT_Strings.

Note that the size is the number of elements, and not the specific number of bytes to allocate. That is calculated internally.

Parameters

size	the number of elements the array will contain

Returns

the allocated NT_String array

After use, the array should be freed using the NT_FreeStringArray() function.

NT_FreeBooleanArray()

void NT_FreeBooleanArray

(

NT_Bool *

v_boolean

)

Frees an array of booleans.

Parameters

v_boolean

pointer to the boolean array to free

NT_FreeCharArray()

void NT_FreeCharArray

(

char *

v_char

)

Frees an array of chars.

Parameters

v_char

pointer to the char array to free

NT_FreeDoubleArray()

void NT_FreeDoubleArray

(

double *

v_double

)

Frees an array of doubles.

Parameters

v_double

pointer to the double array to free

NT_FreeFloatArray()

void NT_FreeFloatArray

(

float *

v_float

)

Frees an array of floats.

Parameters

v_float

pointer to the float array to free

NT_FreeIntegerArray()

void NT_FreeIntegerArray

(

int64_t *

v_int

)

Frees an array of ints.

Parameters

v_int

pointer to the int array to free

NT_FreeStringArray()

void NT_FreeStringArray	(	struct NT_String *	v_string,
		size_t	arr_size
	)

Frees an array of NT_Strings.

Parameters

v_string	pointer to the string array to free
arr_size	size of the string array to free

Note that the individual NT_Strings in the array should NOT be freed before calling this. This function will free all the strings individually.
