void* aw_user_data (void)

Description

Returns the user-defined data pointer of the current instance.

Notes

This method and aw_user_data_set allow the application to store and retrieve a pointer to extra, user-defined data with each instance. The user data pointer can then be queried during callbacks and event handlers for easy access to the extra application data. This relieves SDK applications of the burden of having to implement their own mechanism for mapping instance handles to the application's per-instance data.

The contents of the user data is up to the application. The SDK does not access the user data pointer in any way. If the user data points to allocated memory then it is the application's responsibility to free that memory.
