Detailed Description

Memory management.

GPAC can use its own memory tracker, depending on compilation option. It is recommended to use only the functions defined in this section to allocate and free memory whenever developing within the GPAC library.

Warning

these functions shall only be used after initializing the library using gf_sys_init
