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

104 * @brief Create a new talloc context.
106 * The talloc() macro is the core of the talloc library. It takes a memory
107 * context and a type, and returns a pointer to a new area of memory of the
108 * given type.
110 * The returned pointer is itself a talloc context, so you can use it as the
111 * context argument to more calls to talloc if you wish.
113 * The returned pointer is a "child" of the supplied context. This means that if
114 * you talloc_free() the context then the new child disappears as well.
115 * Alternatively you can free just the child.
117 * @param[in] ctx A talloc context to create a new reference on or NULL to

120 * @param[in] type The type of memory to allocate.

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

231 * @brief Free a talloc chunk's children.
233 * The function walks along the list of all children of a talloc context and
234 * talloc_free()s only the children, not the context itself.

238 * @param[in] ptr The chunk that you want to free the children of
239 * (NULL is allowed too)

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

297 void talloc_set_destructor(const void *ptr, int (*destructor)(void *));
300 * @brief Change a talloc chunk's parent.
302 * The talloc_steal() function changes the parent context of a talloc
303 * pointer. It is typically used when the context that the pointer is
304 * currently a child of is going to be freed and you wish to keep the
305 * memory for a longer time.
307 * To make the changed hierarchy less error-prone, you might consider to use
308 * talloc_move().
310 * If you try and call talloc_steal() on a pointer that has more than one
311 * parent then the result is ambiguous. Talloc will choose to remove the
312 * parent that is currently indicated by talloc_parent() and replace it with
313 * the chosen parent. You will also get a message like this via the talloc
314 * logging functions:
316 * @code

318 * reference at some_dir/source/other.c:325
319 * reference at some_dir/source/third.c:121
320 * @endcode
322 * To unambiguously change the parent of a pointer please see the function
323 * talloc_reparent(). See the talloc_set_log_fn() documentation for more
324 * information on talloc logging.
326 * @param[in] new_ctx The new parent context.
328 * @param[in] ptr The talloc chunk to move.
330 * @return Returns the pointer that you pass it. It does not have
331 * any failure modes.

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

844 * not free(3)'ed until that moved chunk is also talloc_free()ed.
