The default version is the same as size_t. While not strictly necessary, it is best to define this as an unsigned type, even if size_t is a signed type. This may avoid some artificial size limitations on some systems. On a 64-bit machine, you may be able to reduce malloc overhead by defining INTERNAL_SIZE_T to be a 32 bit `unsigned int' at the expense of not being able to handle more than 2^32 of malloced space. If this limitation is acceptable, you are encouraged to set this unless you are on a platform requiring 16byte alignments. In this case the alignment requirements turn out to negate any potential advantages of decreasing size_t word size. Implementors: Beware of the possible combinations of: - INTERNAL_SIZE_T might be signed or unsigned, might be 32 or 64 bits, and might be the same width as int or as long - size_t might have different width and signedness as INTERNAL_SIZE_T - int and long might be 32 or 64 bits, and might be the same width To deal with this, most comparisons and difference computations among INTERNAL_SIZE_Ts should cast them to unsigned long, being aware of the fact that casting an unsigned int to a wider long does not sign-extend. (This also makes checking for negative numbers awkward.) Some of these casts result in harmless compiler warnings on some systems. */ #ifndef INTERNAL_SIZE_T # define INTERNAL_SIZE_T size_t #endif /* The corresponding word size. */ #define SIZE_SZ (sizeof (INTERNAL_SIZE_T)) #include /* The corresponding bit mask value. */ #define MALLOC_ALIGN_MASK (MALLOC_ALIGNMENT - 1) #endif /* _GENERIC_MALLOC_SIZE_H */
