void ei_free(void *ptr);
Brief: Wrapper around free
Location: edge-impulse-sdk/porting/ei_classifier_porting.h
Blocking: Depends on user implementation
Description:
ei_free() is declared internally in the Edge Impulse SDK library, and the function must be defined by the user.
This function should free the memory space pointed to by ptr. If ptr is NULL, no operation should be performed. In bare-metal implementations, it can simply be a wrapper for free(). For example:
__attribute__((weak)) void ei_free(void *ptr) {
free(ptr);
}
If you intend to run your impulse in a multi-threaded environment, you will need to ensure that your implementation of ei_free() is thread-safe. For example, if you are using FreeRTOS, here is one possible implementation:
__attribute__((weak)) void ei_free(void *ptr) {
pvPortFree(ptr);
}
Parameters:
ptr- [input] Pointer to the allocated memory.
Example:
The following examples demonstrate possible implementations of this function for various platforms. Note the __attribute__((weak)) in most of the definitions, which means that a user could override the implementation elsewhere in the program:
