6 This header is for ANSI C/C++ only. You can set any of
7 the following #defines before including:
8
9 * If USE_DL_PREFIX is defined, it is assumed that malloc.c
10 was also compiled with this option, so all routines
11 have names starting with "dl".
12
13 * If HAVE_USR_INCLUDE_MALLOC_H is defined, it is assumed that this
14 file will be #included AFTER <malloc.h>. This is needed only if
15 your system defines a struct mallinfo that is incompatible with the
16 standard one declared here. Otherwise, you can include this file
17 INSTEAD of your system system <malloc.h>. At least on ANSI, all
18 declarations should be compatible with system versions
19
20 * If MSPACES is defined, declarations for mspace versions are included.

333 independent_calloc(size_t n_elements, size_t element_size, void* chunks[]);
334
335 independent_calloc is similar to calloc, but instead of returning a
336 single cleared space, it returns an array of pointers to n_elements
337 independent elements that can hold contents of size elem_size, each
338 of which starts out cleared, and can be independently freed,
339 realloc'ed etc. The elements are guaranteed to be adjacently
340 allocated (this is not guaranteed to occur with multiple callocs or
341 mallocs), which may also improve cache locality in some
342 applications.
343
344 The "chunks" argument is optional (i.e., may be null, which is
345 probably the most typical usage). If it is null, the returned array
346 is itself dynamically allocated and should also be freed when it is
347 no longer needed. Otherwise, the chunks array must be of at least
348 n_elements in length. It is filled in with the pointers to the
349 chunks.
350
351 In either case, independent_calloc returns this pointer array, or
352 null if the allocation failed. If n_elements is zero and "chunks"
353 is null, it returns a chunk representing an array with zero elements
354 (which should be freed if not wanted).
355
356 Each element must be freed when it is no longer needed. This can be
357 done all at once using bulk_free.
358
359 independent_calloc simplifies and speeds up implementations of many
360 kinds of pools. It may also be useful when constructing large data
361 structures that initially have a fixed number of fixed-sized nodes,
362 but the number is not known at compile time, and some of the nodes
363 may later need to be freed. For example:
364
365 struct Node { int item; struct Node* next; };
366
367 struct Node* build_list() {
368 struct Node** pool;
369 int n = read_number_of_nodes_needed();
370 if (n <= 0) return 0;
371 pool = (struct Node**)(independent_calloc(n, sizeof(struct Node), 0);
372 if (pool == 0) die();
373 // organize into a linked list...
374 struct Node* first = pool[0];
375 for (i = 0; i < n-1; ++i)
376 pool[i]->next = pool[i+1];
377 free(pool); // Can now free the array (or not, if it is needed later)
378 return first;
379 }

381void** dlindependent_calloc(size_t, size_t, void**);
382
383/*
384 independent_comalloc(size_t n_elements, size_t sizes[], void* chunks[]);
385
386 independent_comalloc allocates, all at once, a set of n_elements
387 chunks with sizes indicated in the "sizes" array. It returns
388 an array of pointers to these elements, each of which can be
389 independently freed, realloc'ed etc. The elements are guaranteed to
390 be adjacently allocated (this is not guaranteed to occur with
391 multiple callocs or mallocs), which may also improve cache locality
392 in some applications.
393
394 The "chunks" argument is optional (i.e., may be null). If it is null
395 the returned array is itself dynamically allocated and should also
396 be freed when it is no longer needed. Otherwise, the chunks array
397 must be of at least n_elements in length. It is filled in with the
398 pointers to the chunks.
399
400 In either case, independent_comalloc returns this pointer array, or
401 null if the allocation failed. If n_elements is zero and chunks is
402 null, it returns a chunk representing an array with zero elements
403 (which should be freed if not wanted).
404
405 Each element must be freed when it is no longer needed. This can be
406 done all at once using bulk_free.
407
408 independent_comallac differs from independent_calloc in that each
409 element may have a different size, and also that it does not
410 automatically clear elements.
411
412 independent_comalloc can be used to speed up allocation in cases
413 where several structs or objects must always be allocated at the
414 same time. For example:
415
416 struct Head { ... }
417 struct Foot { ... }
418
419 void send_message(char* msg) {
420 int msglen = strlen(msg);
421 size_t sizes[3] = { sizeof(struct Head), msglen, sizeof(struct Foot) };

425 struct Head* head = (struct Head*)(chunks[0]);
426 char* body = (char*)(chunks[1]);
427 struct Foot* foot = (struct Foot*)(chunks[2]);
428 // ...
429 }
430
431 In general though, independent_comalloc is worth using only for
432 larger values of n_elements. For small values, you probably won't
433 detect enough difference from series of malloc calls to bother.
434
435 Overuse of independent_comalloc can increase overall memory usage,
436 since it cannot reuse existing noncontiguous small chunks that
437 might be available for some of the elements.
