27 * ralloc: a recursive memory allocator
29 * The ralloc memory allocator creates a hierarchy of allocated
30 * objects. Every allocation is in reference to some parent, and
31 * every allocated object can in turn be used as the parent of a
32 * subsequent allocation. This allows for extremely convenient
33 * discarding of an entire tree/sub-tree of allocations by calling
34 * ralloc_free on any particular object to free it and all of its
37 * The conceptual working of ralloc was directly inspired by Andrew
38 * Tridgell's talloc, but ralloc is an independent implementation
39 * released under the MIT license and tuned for Mesa.
41 * The talloc implementation is available under the GNU Lesser
42 * General Public License (GNU LGPL), version 3 or later. It is
43 * more sophisticated than ralloc in that it includes reference
44 * counting and debugging features. See: http://talloc.samba.org/
61 * \def ralloc(ctx, type)
62 * Allocate a new object chained off of the given context.
64 * This is equivalent to:
66 * ((type *) ralloc_size(ctx, sizeof(type))
69 #define ralloc(ctx, type) ((type *) ralloc_size(ctx, sizeof(type)))
72 * \def rzalloc(ctx, type)
73 * Allocate a new object out of the given context and initialize it to zero.
75 * This is equivalent to:
77 * ((type *) rzalloc_size(ctx, sizeof(type))
80 #define rzalloc(ctx, type) ((type *) rzalloc_size(ctx, sizeof(type)))
83 * Allocate a new ralloc context.
85 * While any ralloc'd pointer can be used as a context, sometimes it is useful
86 * to simply allocate a context with no associated memory.
88 * It is equivalent to:
90 * ((type *) ralloc_size(ctx, 0)
93 void *ralloc_context(const void *ctx
);
96 * Allocate memory chained off of the given context.
98 * This is the core allocation routine which is used by all others. It
99 * simply allocates storage for \p size bytes and returns the pointer,
100 * similar to \c malloc.

112 * Resize a piece of ralloc-managed memory, preserving data.
114 * Similar to \c realloc. Unlike C89, passing 0 for \p size does not free the
115 * memory. Instead, it resizes it to a 0-byte ralloc context, just like
116 * calling ralloc_size(ctx, 0). This is different from talloc.
118 * \param ctx The context to use for new allocation. If \p ptr != NULL,
119 * it must be the same as ralloc_parent(\p ptr).
120 * \param ptr Pointer to the memory to be resized. May be NULL.
121 * \param size The amount of memory to allocate, in bytes.
