Input Parameters

Name	Type	Description
ptr	POINTER	Pointer to the memory buffer allocated by the mkl_malloc or mkl_calloc function or a NULL pointer.
size	INTEGER4 for 32-bit systems INTEGER8 for 64-bit systems	New size of the buffer.

Description

The function changes the size of the memory buffer allocated by the mkl_malloc or mkl_calloc function to size bytes. The first bytes of the returned buffer up to the minimum of the old and new sizes keep the content of the input buffer. The returned memory buffer can have a different location than the input one. If ptr is NULL, the function works as mkl_malloc.

Return Values

Name	Type	Description
a_ptr	POINTER	Pointer to the re-allocated buffer if re-allocation is successful. NULL if re-allocation is unsuccessful.
