27 * ralloc: a recursive memory allocator
29 * The ralloc memory allocator creates a hierarchy of allocated
30 * objects. Every allocation is in reference to some parent, and
31 * every allocated object can in turn be used as the parent of a
32 * subsequent allocation. This allows for extremely convenient
33 * discarding of an entire tree/sub-tree of allocations by calling
34 * ralloc_free on any particular object to free it and all of its
37 * This is currently a wrapper around talloc, but that will change.
52 * \def ralloc(ctx, type)
53 * Allocate a new object chained off of the given context.
55 * This is equivalent to:
57 * ((type *) ralloc_size(ctx, sizeof(type))
60 #define ralloc(ctx, type) ((type *) ralloc_size(ctx, sizeof(type)))
63 * \def rzalloc(ctx, type)
64 * Allocate a new object out of the given context and initialize it to zero.
66 * This is equivalent to:
68 * ((type *) rzalloc_size(ctx, sizeof(type))
71 #define rzalloc(ctx, type) ((type *) rzalloc_size(ctx, sizeof(type)))
74 * Allocate a new ralloc context.
76 * While any ralloc'd pointer can be used as a context, sometimes it is useful
77 * to simply allocate a context with no associated memory.
79 * It is equivalent to:
81 * ((type *) ralloc_size(ctx, 0)
84 void *ralloc_context(const void *ctx
);
87 * Allocate memory chained off of the given context.
89 * This is the core allocation routine which is used by all others. It
90 * simply allocates storage for \p size bytes and returns the pointer,
91 * similar to \c malloc.
93 void *ralloc_size(const void *ctx
, size_t size
);
96 * Allocate zero-initialized memory chained off of the given context.
98 * This is similar to \c calloc with a size of 1.
100 void *rzalloc_size(const void *ctx
, size_t size
);
103 * Resize a piece of ralloc-managed memory, preserving data.
105 * Similar to \c realloc. Unlike C89, passing 0 for \p size does not free the
106 * memory. Instead, it resizes it to a 0-byte ralloc context, just like
107 * calling ralloc_size(ctx, 0). This is different from talloc.
109 * \param ctx The context to use for new allocation. If \p ptr != NULL,
110 * it must be the same as ralloc_parent(\p ptr).
111 * \param ptr Pointer to the memory to be resized. May be NULL.
112 * \param size The amount of memory to allocate, in bytes.
