upc_local_alloc function deprecated
#include <upc.h>
shared void *upc_local_alloc(size_t nblocks,
size_t nbytes);
The upc_local_alloc function is deprecated and should not be used. UPC
programs should use the upc_alloc function instead. Support may be removed
in future versions of this specification.
The upc_local_alloc function allocates shared space of at least
nblocks * nbytes bytes with affinity to the calling thread. If
nblocks * nbytes is zero,
the result is a null pointer-to-shared.
upc_local_alloc is similar to malloc() except that it returns a pointer-to-shared
value. It is not a collective function.
