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
118 * create a new top level context.
120 * @param[in] type The type of memory to allocate.
122 * @return A type casted talloc context or NULL on error.

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 * talloc_free() operates recursively on its children.
199 * @param[in] ptr The chunk to be freed.
201 * @return Returns 0 on success and -1 on error. A possible
202 * failure condition is if the pointer had a destructor
203 * attached to it and the destructor returned -1. Likewise,
204 * if "ptr" is NULL, then the function will make no
205 * modifications and returns -1.
207 * Example:
208 * @code
209 * unsigned int *a, *b;
210 * a = talloc(NULL, unsigned int);
211 * b = talloc(a, unsigned int);
213 * talloc_free(a); // Frees a and b

226 * @brief Free a talloc chunk's children.
228 * The function walks along the list of all children of a talloc context and
229 * talloc_free()s only the children, not the context itself.
231 * A NULL argument is handled as no-op.
233 * @param[in] ptr The chunk that you want to free the children of
234 * (NULL is allowed too)
236 void talloc_free_children(void *ptr);
238 #ifdef DOXYGEN
240 * @brief Assign a destructor function to be called when a chunk is freed.
242 * The function talloc_set_destructor() sets the "destructor" for the pointer
243 * "ptr". A destructor is a function that is called when the memory used by a
244 * pointer is about to be released. The destructor receives the pointer as an
245 * argument, and should return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
247 * The destructor can do anything it wants to, including freeing other pieces
248 * of memory. A common use for destructors is to clean up operating system
249 * resources (such as open file descriptors) contained in the structure the
250 * destructor is placed on.
252 * You can only place one destructor on a pointer. If you need more than one
253 * destructor then you can create a zero-length child of the pointer and place
254 * an additional destructor on that.
256 * To remove a destructor call talloc_set_destructor() with NULL for the
257 * destructor.
259 * If your destructor attempts to talloc_free() the pointer that it is the
260 * destructor for then talloc_free() will return -1 and the free will be
261 * ignored. This would be a pointless operation anyway, as the destructor is
262 * only called when the memory is just about to go away.
264 * @param[in] ptr The talloc chunk to add a destructor to.
266 * @param[in] destructor The destructor function to be called. NULL to remove
267 * it.
269 * Example:
270 * @code
271 * static int destroy_fd(int *fd) {
272 * close(*fd);
273 * return 0;
276 * int *open_file(const char *filename) {
277 * int *fd = talloc(NULL, int);
278 * *fd = open(filename, O_RDONLY);
279 * if (*fd < 0) {
280 * talloc_free(fd);
281 * return NULL;
283 * // Whenever they free this, we close the file.

292 void talloc_set_destructor(const void *ptr, int (*destructor)(void *));
295 * @brief Change a talloc chunk's parent.
297 * The talloc_steal() function changes the parent context of a talloc
298 * pointer. It is typically used when the context that the pointer is
299 * currently a child of is going to be freed and you wish to keep the
300 * memory for a longer time.
302 * To make the changed hierarchy less error-prone, you might consider to use
303 * talloc_move().
305 * If you try and call talloc_steal() on a pointer that has more than one
306 * parent then the result is ambiguous. Talloc will choose to remove the
307 * parent that is currently indicated by talloc_parent() and replace it with
308 * the chosen parent. You will also get a message like this via the talloc
309 * logging functions:
311 * @code
312 * WARNING: talloc_steal with references at some_dir/source/foo.c:123
313 * reference at some_dir/source/other.c:325
314 * reference at some_dir/source/third.c:121
315 * @endcode
317 * To unambiguously change the parent of a pointer please see the function
318 * talloc_reparent(). See the talloc_set_log_fn() documentation for more
319 * information on talloc logging.
321 * @param[in] new_ctx The new parent context.
323 * @param[in] ptr The talloc chunk to move.
325 * @return Returns the pointer that you pass it. It does not have
326 * any failure modes.

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