<p>Single-threaded mode only: liblzma doesn't make an internal copy of <a class="el" href="structlzma__allocator.html" title="Custom functions for memory handling. ">lzma_allocator</a>. Thus, it is OK to change these function pointers in the middle of the coding process, but obviously it must be done carefully to make sure that the replacement `free' can deallocate memory allocated by the earlier `alloc' function(s).</p>
<p>Multithreaded mode: liblzma might internally store pointers to the <a class="el" href="structlzma__allocator.html" title="Custom functions for memory handling. ">lzma_allocator</a> given via the <a class="el" href="structlzma__stream.html" title="Passing data to and from liblzma. ">lzma_stream</a> structure.

<p>The allocator should not waste time zeroing the allocated buffers. This is not only about speed, but also memory usage, since the operating system kernel doesn't necessarily allocate the requested memory in physical memory until it is actually used. With small input files, liblzma may actually need only a fraction of the memory that it requested for allocation.</p>
<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd>LZMA_MEM_ERROR is also used when the size of the allocation would be greater than SIZE_MAX. Thus, don't assume that the custom allocator must have returned NULL if some function from liblzma returns LZMA_MEM_ERROR. </dd></dl>
