For example, when you load the raw font data into memory and want to pass it to HarfBuzz, you do so in a <code class="literal">hb_blob_t</code> wrapper. </p> <p> This allows you to take advantage of HarffBuzz's reference-counting and <code class="function">destroy</code> callbacks. If you allocated the memory for the data using <code class="function">malloc()</code>, you would create the blob using </p> <pre class="programlisting"> hb_blob_create (data, length, HB_MEMORY_MODE_WRITABLE, data, free) </pre> <p> That way, HarfBuzz will call <code class="function">free()</code> on the allocated memory whenever the blob drops its last reference and is deconstructed. Consequently, the user code can stop worrying about freeing memory and let the reference-counting machinery take care of that. </p> </div> <div class="footer"> <hr>Generated by GTK-Doc V1.32</div> </body> </html>
