is it possible to use the Azure IoT device SDK C in an environment, in which only static allocation of RAM is allowed (no malloc/free)?

The azure-iot-sdk-c
was not designed with statically allocated memory in mind, and out of the box the SDK will allocate memory dynamically. With that said, with a little coding there is a way to achieve similar functionality. In the sdk there is an interface header named gballoc.h
in the c-utility include
folder.
By default all allocations go through malloc
and free
, but if the symbol GB_USE_CUSTOM_HEAP
is defined, all allocation will go through this interface. You can setup a custom memory allocation scheme to handle memory allocations any way you choose.
Hope this helps.
