git_allocator

Version:

An instance for a custom memory allocator

Setting the pointers of this structure allows the developer to implement custom memory allocators. The global memory allocator can be set by using "GIT_OPT_SET_ALLOCATOR" with the git_libgit2_opts function. Keep in mind that all fields need to be set to a proper function.
