  1. int byteCount, {
  2. int? alignment,
})
override

Provides sodium_malloc.

Implementation

@override
Pointer<T> allocate<T extends NativeType>(int byteCount, {int? alignment}) {
  if (alignment != null) {
    throw ArgumentError('Cannot align memory when using SodiumAllocator');
  }

  return sodium.sodium_malloc(byteCount).cast();
}
