<p>
 | 
						|
Implementations of aggregate SQL functions use this
 | 
						|
routine to allocate memory for storing their state.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The first time the sqlite3_aggregate_context(C,N) routine is called
 | 
						|
for a particular aggregate function, SQLite allocates
 | 
						|
N bytes of memory, zeroes out that memory, and returns a pointer
 | 
						|
to the new memory. On second and subsequent calls to
 | 
						|
sqlite3_aggregate_context() for the same aggregate function instance,
 | 
						|
the same buffer is returned.  Sqlite3_aggregate_context() is normally
 | 
						|
called once for each invocation of the xStep callback and then one
 | 
						|
last time when the xFinal callback is invoked.  When no rows match
 | 
						|
an aggregate query, the xStep() callback of the aggregate function
 | 
						|
implementation is never called and xFinal() is called exactly once.
 | 
						|
In those cases, sqlite3_aggregate_context() might be called for the
 | 
						|
first time from within xFinal().</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The sqlite3_aggregate_context(C,N) routine returns a NULL pointer
 | 
						|
when first called if N is less than or equal to zero or if a memory
 | 
						|
allocate error occurs.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The amount of space allocated by sqlite3_aggregate_context(C,N) is
 | 
						|
determined by the N parameter on first successful call.  Changing the
 | 
						|
value of N in any subsequent call to sqlite3_aggregate_context() within
 | 
						|
the same aggregate function instance will not resize the memory
 | 
						|
allocation.  Within the xFinal callback, it is customary to set
 | 
						|
N=0 in calls to sqlite3_aggregate_context(C,N) so that no
 | 
						|
pointless memory allocations occur.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>SQLite automatically frees the memory allocated by
 | 
						|
sqlite3_aggregate_context() when the aggregate query concludes.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The first parameter must be a copy of the
 | 
						|
<a href="../c3ref/context.html">SQL function context</a> that is the first parameter
 | 
						|
to the xStep or xFinal callback routine that implements the aggregate
 | 
						|
function.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>This routine must be called from the same thread in which
 | 
						|
the aggregate SQL function is running.
