Group PJ_CACHING_POOL

group PJ_CACHING_POOL

Caching pool is one sample implementation of pool factory where the factory can reuse memory to create a pool. Application defines what the maximum memory the factory can hold, and when a pool is released the factory decides whether to destroy the pool or to keep it for future use. If the total amount of memory in the internal cache is still within the limit, the factory will keep the pool in the internal cache, otherwise the pool will be destroyed, thus releasing the memory back to the system.

// PJ_POOL_FACTORY

Defines

PJ_CACHING_POOL_ARRAY_SIZE

Number of unique sizes, to be used as index to the free list. Each pool in the free list is organized by it’s size.

Functions

void pj_caching_pool_init(pj_caching_pool *ch_pool, const pj_pool_factory_policy *policy, pj_size_t max_capacity)

Initialize caching pool.

Parameters

• ch_pool – The caching pool factory to be initialized.

• policy – Pool factory policy.

• max_capacity – The total capacity to be retained in the cache. When the pool is returned to the cache, it will be kept in recycling list if the total capacity of pools in this list plus the capacity of the pool is still below this value.

void pj_caching_pool_destroy(pj_caching_pool *ch_pool)

Destroy caching pool, and release all the pools in the recycling list.

Parameters

ch_pool – The caching pool.

struct pj_caching_pool

#include <pool.h>

Declaration for caching pool. Application doesn’t normally need to care about the contents of this struct, it is only provided here because application need to define an instance of this struct (we can not allocate the struct from a pool since there is no pool factory yet!).

Forward declaration for caching pool, a pool factory implementation.
