Allocator.alloc

Use allocator to allocate a new memory block with memory that is at least size big.

The optional params can specify the prefix and padding for the memory. If NULL is passed, no flags, no extra prefix/padding and a default alignment is used.

The prefix/padding will be filled with 0 if flags contains GST_MEMORY_FLAG_ZERO_PREFIXED and GST_MEMORY_FLAG_ZERO_PADDED respectively.

When allocator is NULL, the default allocator will be used.

The alignment in params is given as a bitmask so that align + 1 equals the amount of bytes to align to. For example, to align to 8 bytes, use an alignment of 7.
