<p>These functions are declared in the main Allegro header file:</p>
<pre><code>#include &lt;allegro5/allegro.h&gt;</code></pre>
<h1 id="al_malloc"><a href="#al_malloc">al_malloc</a></h1>
<pre><code>#define al_malloc(n) \
   (al_malloc_with_context((n), __LINE__, __FILE__, __func__))</code></pre>
<p>Like malloc() in the C standard library, but the implementation may be overridden.</p>
<p>This is a macro.</p>
<p>See also: <a href="memory.html#al_free">al_free</a>, <a href="memory.html#al_realloc">al_realloc</a>, <a href="memory.html#al_calloc">al_calloc</a>, <a href="memory.html#al_malloc_with_context">al_malloc_with_context</a>, <a href="memory.html#al_set_memory_interface">al_set_memory_interface</a></p>
<h1 id="al_free"><a href="#al_free">al_free</a></h1>
<pre><code>#define al_free(p) \
   (al_free_with_context((p), __LINE__, __FILE__, __func__))</code></pre>
<p>Like free() in the C standard library, but the implementation may be overridden.</p>
<p>Additionally, on Windows, a memory block allocated by one DLL must be freed from the same DLL. In the few places where an Allegro function returns a pointer that must be freed, you must use <a href="memory.html#al_free">al_free</a> for portability to Windows.</p>
<p>This is a macro.</p>
<p>See also: <a href="memory.html#al_malloc">al_malloc</a>, <a href="memory.html#al_free_with_context">al_free_with_context</a></p>

<pre><code>#define al_realloc(p, n) \
   (al_realloc_with_context((p), (n), __LINE__, __FILE__, __func__))</code></pre>
<p>Like realloc() in the C standard library, but the implementation may be overridden.</p>
<p>This is a macro.</p>

<pre><code>#define al_calloc(c, n) \

<pre><code>void *al_malloc_with_context(size_t n,

<p>This calls malloc() from the Allegro library (this matters on Windows), unless overridden with <a href="memory.html#al_set_memory_interface">al_set_memory_interface</a>,</p>
<p>Generally you should use the <a href="memory.html#al_malloc">al_malloc</a> macro.</p>

<pre><code>void al_free_with_context(void *ptr,
