Function Documentation

apr_memnode_t* apr_allocator_alloc	(	apr_allocator_t *	allocator,
		apr_size_t	size
	)

Allocate a block of mem from the allocator

Parameters:

	allocator	The allocator to allocate from
	size	The size of the mem to allocate (excluding the memnode structure)

apr_status_t apr_allocator_create

(

apr_allocator_t **

allocator

)

Create a new allocator

Parameters:

allocator

The allocator we have just created.

void apr_allocator_destroy

(

apr_allocator_t *

allocator

)

Destroy an allocator

Parameters:

allocator

The allocator to be destroyed

Remarks:

Any memnodes not given back to the allocator prior to destroying will _not_ be free()d.

void apr_allocator_free	(	apr_allocator_t *	allocator,
		apr_memnode_t *	memnode
	)

Free a block of mem, giving it back to the allocator

Parameters:

	allocator	The allocator to give the mem back to
	memnode	The memory node to return

apr_thread_mutex_t* apr_allocator_get_mutex

(

apr_allocator_t *

allocator

)

Deprecated:

See also:

apr_allocator_mutex_get

apr_pool_t* apr_allocator_get_owner

(

apr_allocator_t *

allocator

)

Deprecated:

See also:

apr_allocator_owner_get

void apr_allocator_max_free_set	(	apr_allocator_t *	allocator,
		apr_size_t	size
	)

Set the current threshold at which the allocator should start giving blocks back to the system.

Parameters:

	allocator	The allocator the set the threshold on
	size	The threshold. 0 == unlimited.

apr_thread_mutex_t* apr_allocator_mutex_get

(

apr_allocator_t *

allocator

)

Get the mutex currently set for the allocator

Parameters:

allocator

The allocator

void apr_allocator_mutex_set	(	apr_allocator_t *	allocator,
		apr_thread_mutex_t *	mutex
	)

Set a mutex for the allocator to use

Parameters:

	allocator	The allocator to set the mutex for
	mutex	The mutex

apr_pool_t* apr_allocator_owner_get

(

apr_allocator_t *

allocator

)

Get the current owner of the allocator

Parameters:

allocator

The allocator to get the owner from

void apr_allocator_owner_set	(	apr_allocator_t *	allocator,
		apr_pool_t *	pool
	)

Set the owner of the allocator

Parameters:

	allocator	The allocator to set the owner for
	pool	The pool that is to own the allocator

Remarks:

Typically pool is the highest level pool using the allocator

void apr_allocator_set_max_free	(	apr_allocator_t *	allocator,
		apr_size_t	size
	)

Deprecated:
