How do these things work?

engfunc(EngFunc_AllocString, "info_target")

engfunc(EngFunc_CreateNamedEntity, iszInfoTarget)

And I encountered something like this

engfunc(EngFunc_CreateNamedEntity, engfunc(EngFunc_AllocString, "info_target"))

At first I thought I could replace it with

create_entity(const szClassname[]);

But that's probably not the right usage


I am posting a snippet of code where it is used

	static iszInfoTarget
	if( !iszInfoTarget ) {
		iszInfoTarget = engfunc(EngFunc_AllocString, "info_target")
	}

	new iEnt = engfunc(EngFunc_CreateNamedEntity, iszInfoTarget)
	if( iEnt > 0) {
		static iszClass = 0
		if( !iszClass ) {
			iszClass = engfunc(EngFunc_AllocString, PARACHUTE_CLASS)
		}

This, i think, is the code for allocating strings. Maybe it helps you or someone else to explain it.

PHP Code:

void *Hunk_AllocName(int size, const char *name)
{
    if (size < 0)
    {
        Sys_Error("%s: bad size: %i", __func__, size);
    }

    int totalsize = ((size + 15) & ~15) + sizeof(hunk_t);

    if (hunk_size - hunk_high_used - hunk_low_used < totalsize)
    {
        Sys_Error("%s: failed on %i bytes", __func__, totalsize);
    }

    hunk_t *h = (hunk_t *)(hunk_base + hunk_low_used);

    hunk_low_used += totalsize;
    Cache_FreeLow(hunk_low_used);

    Q_memset(h, 0, totalsize);
    h->size = totalsize;
    h->sentinel = HUNK_SENTINEL;
    Q_strncpy(h->name, name, HUNK_NAME_LEN - 1);
    h->name[HUNK_NAME_LEN - 1] = 0;

    return (void *)(h + 1);
}
