| <h4>Description</h4> |
| |
| <p> |
| The <code>upc_alloc </code> allocates shared space of at least <code>nbytes</code> bytes with |
| affinity to the calling thread. |
| <p> |
| <code>upc_alloc</code> is similar to malloc() except that it returns a pointer-to-shared |
| value. It is not a <i>collective</i> function. If <code>nbytes</code> is zero, the result is a null |
| pointer-to-shared. |
