SDL_OUT_Z_BYTECAP(3)

SDL_OUT_Z_BYTECAP3

Macro that annotates function params with output buffer string size.

Usage

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

#define SDL_OUT_Z_BYTECAP(x) _Out_z_bytecap_(x)

Header file

Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h

Overview

If we were to annotate strcpy :

char *strcpy(SDL_OUT_Z_BYTECAP(bufsize) char *dst, const char *src, size_t bufsize);

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

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.
