Detailed Description

DBusMemPool object.

Types and functions related to DBusMemPool. A memory pool is used to decrease memory fragmentation/overhead and increase speed for blocks of small uniformly-sized objects. The main point is to avoid the overhead of a malloc block for each small object, speed is secondary.

Function Documentation

◆ _dbus_mem_pool_alloc()

void * _dbus_mem_pool_alloc ( DBusMemPool pool)

Allocates an object from the memory pool.

The object must be freed with _dbus_mem_pool_dealloc().

Parameters
poolthe memory pool
Returns
the allocated object or NULL if no memory.

◆ _dbus_mem_pool_dealloc()

dbus_bool_t _dbus_mem_pool_dealloc ( DBusMemPool pool,
void *  element 
)

Deallocates an object previously created with _dbus_mem_pool_alloc().

The previous object must have come from this same pool.

Parameters
poolthe memory pool
elementthe element earlier allocated.
Returns
TRUE if there are no remaining allocated elements

◆ _dbus_mem_pool_free()

void _dbus_mem_pool_free ( DBusMemPool pool)

Frees a memory pool (and all elements allocated from it).

Parameters
poolthe memory pool.

Definition at line 200 of file dbus-mempool.c.

◆ _dbus_mem_pool_new()

DBusMemPool * _dbus_mem_pool_new ( int  element_size,
dbus_bool_t  zero_elements 
)

Creates a new memory pool, or returns NULL on failure.

Objects in the pool must be at least sizeof(void*) bytes each, due to the way memory pools work. To avoid creating 64 bit problems, this means at least 8 bytes on all platforms, unless you are 4 bytes on 32-bit and 8 bytes on 64-bit.

Parameters
element_sizesize of an element allocated from the pool.
zero_elementswhether to zero-initialize elements
Returns
the new pool or NULL
