SDL_OUT_CAP(3)

SDL_OUT_CAP3

Macro that annotates function params with output buffer size.

Usage

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

#define SDL_OUT_CAP(x) _Out_cap_(x)

Header file

Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h

Overview

If we were to annotate wcsncpy :

char *wcscpy(SDL_OUT_CAP(bufsize) wchar_t *dst, const wchar_t *src, size_t bufsize);

This notes that dst should have a capacity of bufsize wchar_t in size, and is only written to by the function. The compiler or other analysis tools can warn when this doesn't appear to be the case.

This operates on counts of objects, not bytes. Use

SDL_OUT_BYTECAP
for bytes.

On compilers without this annotation mechanism, this is defined to nothing.

Availability

This macro is available since SDL 3.2.0.

From libsdl3-doc 3.2.10+ds-1 in Debian 13 (Trixie). Parsed by carta from the page's man source.
