Detailed Description

Memory allocation.

This module provides memory allocation services to the package. The allocation functions to be used can be set at run-time.

Typedef Documentation

typedef char*(* GAAllocFunc) (size_t, int)

Memory allocation function.

This is the specification of the memory allocation function which can be set using GA_set_alloc_funcs.

typedef void(* GAFreeFunc) (char *)

Memory freeing function.

This is the specification of the memory freeing function which can be set using GA_set_alloc_funcs.
