54 * @brief Define a talloc parent type
56 * As talloc is a hierarchial memory allocator, every talloc chunk is a
57 * potential parent to other talloc chunks. So defining a separate type for a
58 * talloc chunk is not strictly necessary. TALLOC_CTX is defined nevertheless,
59 * as it provides an indicator for function arguments. You will frequently
60 * write code like
62 * @code
63 * struct foo *foo_create(TALLOC_CTX *mem_ctx)
64 * {
65 * struct foo *result;
66 * result = talloc(mem_ctx, struct foo);
67 * if (result == NULL) return NULL;
68 * ... initialize foo ...
69 * return result;
70 * }
71 * @endcode
73 * In this type of allocating functions it is handy to have a general
74 * TALLOC_CTX type to indicate which parent to put allocated structures on.

114 * @brief Create a new talloc context.
116 * The talloc() macro is the core of the talloc library. It takes a memory
117 * context and a type, and returns a pointer to a new area of memory of the
118 * given type.
120 * The returned pointer is itself a talloc context, so you can use it as the
121 * context argument to more calls to talloc if you wish.
123 * The returned pointer is a "child" of the supplied context. This means that if
124 * you talloc_free() the context then the new child disappears as well.
125 * Alternatively you can free just the child.
127 * @param[in] ctx A talloc context to create a new reference on or NULL to
128 * create a new top level context.
130 * @param[in] type The type of memory to allocate.
132 * @return A type casted talloc context or NULL on error.

173 * @brief Free a chunk of talloc memory.
175 * The talloc_free() function frees a piece of talloc memory, and all its
176 * children. You can call talloc_free() on any pointer returned by
177 * talloc().
179 * The return value of talloc_free() indicates success or failure, with 0
180 * returned for success and -1 for failure. A possible failure condition
181 * is if the pointer had a destructor attached to it and the destructor
182 * returned -1. See talloc_set_destructor() for details on
183 * destructors. Likewise, if "ptr" is NULL, then the function will make
184 * no modifications and return -1.
186 * From version 2.0 and onwards, as a special case, talloc_free() is
187 * refused on pointers that have more than one parent associated, as talloc
188 * would have no way of knowing which parent should be removed. This is
189 * different from older versions in the sense that always the reference to
190 * the most recently established parent has been destroyed. Hence to free a
191 * pointer that has more than one parent please use talloc_unlink().
193 * To help you find problems in your code caused by this behaviour, if
194 * you do try and free a pointer with more than one parent then the
195 * talloc logging function will be called to give output like this:
197 * @code
198 * ERROR: talloc_free with references at some_dir/source/foo.c:123
199 * reference at some_dir/source/other.c:325
200 * reference at some_dir/source/third.c:121
201 * @endcode
203 * Please see the documentation for talloc_set_log_fn() and
204 * talloc_set_log_stderr() for more information on talloc logging
205 * functions.
207 * If <code>TALLOC_FREE_FILL</code> environment variable is set,
208 * the memory occupied by the context is filled with the value of this variable.
209 * The value should be a numeric representation of the character you want to
210 * use.
212 * talloc_free() operates recursively on its children.
214 * @param[in] ptr The chunk to be freed.
216 * @return Returns 0 on success and -1 on error. A possible
217 * failure condition is if the pointer had a destructor
218 * attached to it and the destructor returned -1. Likewise,
219 * if "ptr" is NULL, then the function will make no
220 * modifications and returns -1.
222 * Example:
223 * @code
224 * unsigned int *a, *b;
225 * a = talloc(NULL, unsigned int);
226 * b = talloc(a, unsigned int);
228 * talloc_free(a); // Frees a and b

241 * @brief Free a talloc chunk's children.

253 #ifdef DOXYGEN
255 * @brief Assign a destructor function to be called when a chunk is freed.
257 * The function talloc_set_destructor() sets the "destructor" for the pointer
258 * "ptr". A destructor is a function that is called when the memory used by a
259 * pointer is about to be released. The destructor receives the pointer as an
260 * argument, and should return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
262 * The destructor can do anything it wants to, including freeing other pieces
263 * of memory. A common use for destructors is to clean up operating system
264 * resources (such as open file descriptors) contained in the structure the
265 * destructor is placed on.
267 * You can only place one destructor on a pointer. If you need more than one
268 * destructor then you can create a zero-length child of the pointer and place
269 * an additional destructor on that.
271 * To remove a destructor call talloc_set_destructor() with NULL for the
272 * destructor.
274 * If your destructor attempts to talloc_free() the pointer that it is the
275 * destructor for then talloc_free() will return -1 and the free will be
276 * ignored. This would be a pointless operation anyway, as the destructor is
277 * only called when the memory is just about to go away.
279 * @param[in] ptr The talloc chunk to add a destructor to.
281 * @param[in] destructor The destructor function to be called. NULL to remove
282 * it.
284 * Example:
285 * @code
286 * static int destroy_fd(int *fd) {
287 * close(*fd);
288 * return 0;
291 * int *open_file(const char *filename) {
292 * int *fd = talloc(NULL, int);
293 * *fd = open(filename, O_RDONLY);
294 * if (*fd < 0) {
295 * talloc_free(fd);
296 * return NULL;
298 * // Whenever they free this, we close the file.

310 * @brief Change a talloc chunk's parent.
312 * The talloc_steal() function changes the parent context of a talloc
313 * pointer. It is typically used when the context that the pointer is
314 * currently a child of is going to be freed and you wish to keep the
315 * memory for a longer time.
317 * To make the changed hierarchy less error-prone, you might consider to use
318 * talloc_move().
320 * If you try and call talloc_steal() on a pointer that has more than one
321 * parent then the result is ambiguous. Talloc will choose to remove the
322 * parent that is currently indicated by talloc_parent() and replace it with
323 * the chosen parent. You will also get a message like this via the talloc
324 * logging functions:
326 * @code

328 * reference at some_dir/source/other.c:325
329 * reference at some_dir/source/third.c:121
330 * @endcode
332 * To unambiguously change the parent of a pointer please see the function
333 * talloc_reparent(). See the talloc_set_log_fn() documentation for more
334 * information on talloc logging.
336 * @param[in] new_ctx The new parent context.
338 * @param[in] ptr The talloc chunk to move.
340 * @return Returns the pointer that you pass it. It does not have

824 * @brief Allocate a talloc pool.
826 * A talloc pool is a pure optimization for specific situations. In the
827 * release process for Samba 3.2 we found out that we had become considerably
828 * slower than Samba 3.0 was. Profiling showed that malloc(3) was a large CPU
829 * consumer in benchmarks. For Samba 3.2 we have internally converted many
830 * static buffers to dynamically allocated ones, so malloc(3) being beaten
831 * more was no surprise. But it made us slower.
833 * talloc_pool() is an optimization to call malloc(3) a lot less for the use
834 * pattern Samba has: The SMB protocol is mainly a request/response protocol
835 * where we have to allocate a certain amount of memory per request and free
836 * that after the SMB reply is sent to the client.
838 * talloc_pool() creates a talloc chunk that you can use as a talloc parent
839 * exactly as you would use any other ::TALLOC_CTX. The difference is that
840 * when you talloc a child of this pool, no malloc(3) is done. Instead, talloc
841 * just increments a pointer inside the talloc_pool. This also works
842 * recursively. If you use the child of the talloc pool as a parent for
843 * grand-children, their memory is also taken from the talloc pool.
845 * If there is not enough memory in the pool to allocate the new child,
846 * it will create a new talloc chunk as if the parent was a normal talloc
847 * context.
849 * If you talloc_free() children of a talloc pool, the memory is not given
850 * back to the system. Instead, free(3) is only called if the talloc_pool()
851 * itself is released with talloc_free().
853 * The downside of a talloc pool is that if you talloc_move() a child of a
854 * talloc pool to a talloc parent outside the pool, the whole pool memory is
855 * not free(3)'ed until that moved chunk is also talloc_free()ed.
