Function Documentation

◆ MHD_pool_allocate()

void* MHD_pool_allocate ( struct MemoryPool *  pool,
size_t  size,
int  from_end 
)

Allocate size bytes from the pool.

Parameters
poolmemory pool to use for the operation
sizenumber of bytes to allocate
from_endallocate from end of pool (set to MHD_YES); use this for small, persistent allocations that will never be reallocated
Returns
NULL if the pool cannot support size more bytes

Definition at line 203 of file memorypool.c.

◆ MHD_pool_create()

struct MemoryPool* MHD_pool_create ( size_t  max)

Create a memory pool.

Parameters
maxmaximum size of the pool
Returns
NULL on error

Definition at line 102 of file memorypool.c.

◆ MHD_pool_destroy()

void MHD_pool_destroy ( struct MemoryPool *  pool)

Destroy a memory pool.

Parameters
poolmemory pool to destroy

Definition at line 157 of file memorypool.c.

◆ MHD_pool_get_free()

size_t MHD_pool_get_free ( struct MemoryPool *  pool)

Check how much memory is left in the pool

Parameters
poolpool to check
Returns
number of bytes still available in pool

Definition at line 185 of file memorypool.c.

◆ MHD_pool_reallocate()

void* MHD_pool_reallocate ( struct MemoryPool *  pool,
void *  old,
size_t  old_size,
size_t  new_size 
)

Reallocate a block of memory obtained from the pool. This is particularly efficient when growing or shrinking the block that was last (re)allocated. If the given block is not the most recently (re)allocated block, the memory of the previous allocation may be leaked until the pool is destroyed (and copying the data maybe required).

Parameters
poolmemory pool to use for the operation
oldthe existing block
old_sizethe size of the existing block
new_sizethe new size of the block
Returns
new address of the block, or NULL if the pool cannot support new_size bytes (old continues to be valid for old_size)

Parameters

new_sizethe new size of the block

Reallocate a block of memory obtained from the pool. This is particularly efficient when growing or shrinking the block that was last (re)allocated. If the given block is not the most recently (re)allocated block, the memory of the previous allocation may be leaked until the pool is destroyed or reset.

Parameters
poolmemory pool to use for the operation
oldthe existing block
old_sizethe size of the existing block
new_sizethe new size of the block
Returns
new address of the block, or NULL if the pool cannot support new_size bytes (old continues to be valid for old_size)

◆ MHD_pool_reset()

void* MHD_pool_reset ( struct MemoryPool *  pool,
void *  keep,
size_t  copy_bytes,
size_t  new_size 
)

Clear all entries from the memory pool except for keep of the given copy_bytes. The pointer returned should be a buffer of new_size where the first copy_bytes are from keep.

Parameters
poolmemory pool to use for the operation
keeppointer to the entry to keep (maybe NULL)
copy_byteshow many bytes need to be kept at this address
new_sizehow many bytes should the allocation we return have? (should be larger or equal to copy_bytes)
Returns
addr new address of keep (if it had to change)

Clear all entries from the memory pool except for keep of the given size. The pointer returned should be a buffer of new_size where the first copy_bytes are from keep.

Parameters
poolmemory pool to use for the operation
keeppointer to the entry to keep (maybe NULL)
copy_byteshow many bytes need to be kept at this address
new_sizehow many bytes should the allocation we return have? (should be larger or equal to copy_bytes)
Returns
addr new address of keep (if it had to change)

Size of area to zero-out
