| 6 | SYNOPSIS: |
| 7 | mapping m_allocate(int size, int width) |
| 8 | |
| 9 | DESCRIPTION: |
| 10 | Reserve memory for a mapping. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | size is the number of entries (i.e. keys) to reserve, width is |
| 13 | the number of data items per entry. If the optional width is |
| 14 | omitted, 1 is used as default. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | This is useful only when you are going to construct a mapping |
| 17 | whose approximate size you know beforehand, to save on malloc |
| 18 | overhead. If you don't fill in data for all the allocated |
| 19 | elements, any leftovers will be freed after the current |
| 20 | function execution ended. It is also useful if you want the |
| 21 | mapping to have a certain width even if you don't provide |
| 22 | all the data items for the keys yet. |
| 23 | |
