GhosttyAllocator Struct Reference

#include <ghostty/vt/allocator.h>

Data Fields
void *	ctx
const GhosttyAllocatorVtable *	vtable

Detailed Description

A custom allocator: a vtable and the context it operates on.

Pass a pointer to one of these to any function that takes an allocator, or pass NULL to use the default allocator described in The Default Allocator. The library does not copy the allocator. It must stay valid for as long as anything allocated with it is in use.

Examples

c-vt-allocator/src/main.c, and c-vt-kitty-graphics/src/main.c.
