|
| - <para>
|
| - If you are used to talloc from Samba3 then please read this
|
| - carefully, as talloc has changed a lot.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - The new talloc is a hierarchical, reference counted memory pool
|
| - system with destructors. Quite a mouthful really, but not too bad
|
| - once you get used to it.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - Perhaps the biggest change from Samba3 is that there is no
|
| - distinction between a "talloc context" and a "talloc pointer". Any
|
| - pointer returned from talloc() is itself a valid talloc context.
|
| - This means you can do this:
|
| - </para>
|
| - <programlisting>
|
| - struct foo *X = talloc(mem_ctx, struct foo);
|
| - X->name = talloc_strdup(X, "foo");
|
| - </programlisting>
|
| - <para>
|
| - and the pointer <literal role="code">X->name</literal>
|
| - would be a "child" of the talloc context <literal
|
| - role="code">X</literal> which is itself a child of
|
| - <literal role="code">mem_ctx</literal>. So if you do
|
| - <literal role="code">talloc_free(mem_ctx)</literal> then
|
| - it is all destroyed, whereas if you do <literal
|
| - role="code">talloc_free(X)</literal> then just <literal
|
| - role="code">X</literal> and <literal
|
| - role="code">X->name</literal> are destroyed, and if
|
| - you do <literal
|
| - role="code">talloc_free(X->name)</literal> then just
|
| - the name element of <literal role="code">X</literal> is
|
| - destroyed.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - If you think about this, then what this effectively gives you is an
|
| - n-ary tree, where you can free any part of the tree with
|
| - talloc_free().
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - If you find this confusing, then I suggest you run the <literal
|
| - role="code">testsuite</literal> program to watch talloc
|
| - in action. You may also like to add your own tests to <literal
|
| - role="code">testsuite.c</literal> to clarify how some
|
| - particular situation is handled.

|
| - <para>
|
| - The following is a complete guide to the talloc API. Read it all at
|
| - least twice.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <refsect2><title>(type *)talloc(const void *ctx, type);</title>
|
| - <para>
|
| - The talloc() macro is the core of the talloc library. It takes a
|
| - memory <emphasis role="italic">ctx</emphasis> and a <emphasis
|
| - role="italic">type</emphasis>, and returns a pointer to a new
|
| - area of memory of the given <emphasis
|
| - role="italic">type</emphasis>.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - The returned pointer is itself a talloc context, so you can use
|
| - it as the <emphasis role="italic">ctx</emphasis> argument to more
|
| - calls to talloc() if you wish.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - The returned pointer is a "child" of the supplied context. This
|
| - means that if you talloc_free() the <emphasis
|
| - role="italic">ctx</emphasis> then the new child disappears as
|
| - well. Alternatively you can free just the child.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - The <emphasis role="italic">ctx</emphasis> argument to talloc()
|
| - can be NULL, in which case a new top level context is created.
|
| - </para>
|
| - </refsect2>
|
| - <refsect2><title>void *talloc_size(const void *ctx, size_t size);</title>
|
| - <para>
|
| - The function talloc_size() should be used when you don't have a
|
| - convenient type to pass to talloc(). Unlike talloc(), it is not
|
| - type safe (as it returns a void *), so you are on your own for
|
| - type checking.
|
| - </para>
|
| - </refsect2>
|
| - <refsect2><title>(typeof(ptr)) talloc_ptrtype(const void *ctx, ptr);</title>
|
| - <para>
|
| - The talloc_ptrtype() macro should be used when you have a pointer and
|
| - want to allocate memory to point at with this pointer. When compiling
|
| - with gcc >= 3 it is typesafe. Note this is a wrapper of talloc_size()
|
| - and talloc_get_name() will return the current location in the source file.
|
| - and not the type.
|
| - </para>
|
| - </refsect2>
|
| - <refsect2><title>int talloc_free(void *ptr);</title>
|
| - <para>
|
| - The talloc_free() function frees a piece of talloc memory, and
|
| - all its children. You can call talloc_free() on any pointer
|
| - returned by talloc().
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - The return value of talloc_free() indicates success or failure,
|
| - with 0 returned for success and -1 for failure. The only
|
| - possible failure condition is if <emphasis
|
| - role="italic">ptr</emphasis> had a destructor attached to it and
|
| - the destructor returned -1. See <link
|
| - linkend="talloc_set_destructor"><quote>talloc_set_destructor()</quote></link>
|
| - for details on destructors.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - If this pointer has an additional parent when talloc_free() is
|
| - called then the memory is not actually released, but instead the
|
| - most recently established parent is destroyed. See <link
|
| - linkend="talloc_reference"><quote>talloc_reference()</quote></link>
|
| - for details on establishing additional parents.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - For more control on which parent is removed, see <link
|
| - linkend="talloc_unlink"><quote>talloc_unlink()</quote></link>.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - talloc_free() operates recursively on its children.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - From the 2.0 version of talloc, as a special case,
|
| - talloc_free() is refused on pointers that have more than one
|
| - parent, as talloc would have no way of knowing which parent
|
| - should be removed. To free a pointer that has more than one
|
| - parent please use talloc_unlink().
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - To help you find problems in your code caused by this behaviour, if
|
| - you do try and free a pointer with more than one parent then the
|
| - talloc logging function will be called to give output like this:
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - <screen format="linespecific">

|

|
| - The talloc_reference() function makes <emphasis
|
| - role="italic">ctx</emphasis> an additional parent of <emphasis
|
| - role="italic">ptr</emphasis>.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - The return value of talloc_reference() is always the original
|
| - pointer <emphasis role="italic">ptr</emphasis>, unless talloc ran
|
| - out of memory in creating the reference in which case it will
|
| - return NULL (each additional reference consumes around 48 bytes
|
| - of memory on intel x86 platforms).
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - If <emphasis role="italic">ptr</emphasis> is NULL, then the

|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - <itemizedlist>
|
| - <listitem>
|
| - <para>
|
| - you can talloc_free() any parent of the original pointer.
|
| - That will reduce the number of parents of this pointer by 1,
|

|
| - parents.
|
| - </para>
|
| - </listitem>
|
| - <listitem>
|
| - <para>
|
| - you can talloc_free() the pointer itself. That will destroy
|

|
| - <refsect2 id="talloc_unlink"><title>int talloc_unlink(const void *ctx, const void *ptr);</title>
|
| - <para>
|
| - The talloc_unlink() function removes a specific parent from
|
| - <emphasis role="italic">ptr</emphasis>. The <emphasis
|
| - role="italic">ctx</emphasis> passed must either be a context used
|
| - in talloc_reference() with this pointer, or must be a direct
|
| - parent of ptr.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - Note that if the parent has already been removed using
|
| - talloc_free() then this function will fail and will return -1.
|
| - Likewise, if <emphasis role="italic">ptr</emphasis> is NULL, then
|
| - the function will make no modifications and return -1.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - Usually you can just use talloc_free() instead of
|
| - talloc_unlink(), but sometimes it is useful to have the
|
| - additional control on which parent is removed.

|
| - <refsect2 id="talloc_set_destructor"><title>void talloc_set_destructor(const void *ptr, int (*destructor)(void *));</title>
|
| - <para>
|
| - The function talloc_set_destructor() sets the <emphasis
|
| - role="italic">destructor</emphasis> for the pointer <emphasis
|
| - role="italic">ptr</emphasis>. A <emphasis
|
| - role="italic">destructor</emphasis> is a function that is called
|
| - when the memory used by a pointer is about to be released. The
|
| - destructor receives <emphasis role="italic">ptr</emphasis> as an
|
| - argument, and should return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - The <emphasis role="italic">destructor</emphasis> can do anything
|
| - it wants to, including freeing other pieces of memory. A common
|
| - use for destructors is to clean up operating system resources
|
| - (such as open file descriptors) contained in the structure the
|
| - destructor is placed on.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - You can only place one destructor on a pointer. If you need more
|
| - than one destructor then you can create a zero-length child of
|
| - the pointer and place an additional destructor on that.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - To remove a destructor call talloc_set_destructor() with NULL for
|
| - the destructor.
|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - If your destructor attempts to talloc_free() the pointer that it
|
| - is the destructor for then talloc_free() will return -1 and the
|
| - free will be ignored. This would be a pointless operation
|
| - anyway, as the destructor is only called when the memory is just
|
| - about to go away.

|

|
| - <para>
|
| - The function talloc_set_name_const() is just like
|

|
| - </para>
|
| - <para>
|
| - This function does not allocate any memory. It just copies the
|

|
| - <para>
|
| - All the additional features of talloc(3) over malloc(3) do come at a
|
| - price. We have a simple performance test in Samba4 that measures
|
| - talloc() versus malloc() performance, and it seems that talloc() is
|
| - about 10% slower than malloc() on my x86 Debian Linux box. For
|
| - Samba, the great reduction in code complexity that we get by using
|
| - talloc makes this worthwhile, especially as the total overhead of
|
| - talloc/malloc in Samba is already quite small.
