* @brief These functions provide memory pool management.
|
||||||
*
|
*
|
||||||
|
* Several mempool are available:
|
||||||
|
*
|
||||||
|
* @li @c buddy: It uses the
|
||||||
|
* <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_memory_allocation">"buddy
|
||||||
|
* allocator" algorithm</a> but the Eina implementation differs in the
|
||||||
|
* sense that the chunk information is not stored on the chunk itself,
|
||||||
|
* but on another memory area. This is useful for cases where the
|
||||||
|
* momery to manage might be slower to access, or limited (like video
|
||||||
|
* memory).
|
||||||
|
* @li @c chained_pool: It is the default one. It allocates a big
|
||||||
|
* chunk of memory with malloc() and split the result in chnks of the
|
||||||
|
* requested size that are pushed inside a stack. When requested, t
|
||||||
|
* takes this pointer from the stack to give them to whoever wants
|
||||||
|
* them.
|
||||||
|
* @li @c ememoa_fixed and @c ememoa_unknown: experimental allocators
|
||||||
|
* which could be useful when a fixed amount of memory is needed.
|
||||||
|
* @li @c fixed_bitmap: It alocates with malloc) 32* the requested
|
||||||
|
* size and push the pool pointer in an rbtree. To find empty space in
|
||||||
|
* a pool, it will just search for the first bit set in an int (32
|
||||||
|
* bits). Then, when a pointer is freed, it will do a search inside
|
||||||
|
* the rbtree.
|
||||||
|
* @li @c pass_through: it just call malloc() and free(). It may be
|
||||||
|
* faster on some computers than using our own allocators (like having
|
||||||
|
* a huge L2 cache, over 4MB).
