Defines

#define SVN_ALLOCATOR_RECOMMENDED_MAX_FREE   (4096 * 1024)
 The recommended maximum amount of memory (4MB) to keep in an APR allocator on the free list, conveniently defined here to share between all our applications.
#define svn_pool_create(parent_pool)   svn_pool_create_ex(parent_pool, NULL)
 Create a pool as a subpool of parent_pool.
#define svn_pool_clear   apr_pool_clear
 Clear a pool destroying its children.
#define svn_pool_destroy   apr_pool_destroy
 Destroy a pool and all of its children.

Functions

apr_pool_t * svn_pool_create_ex (apr_pool_t *parent_pool, apr_allocator_t *allocator)
 Wrapper around apr_pool_create_ex(), with a simpler interface.
apr_allocator_t * svn_pool_create_allocator (svn_boolean_t thread_safe)
 Return a new allocator.

Detailed Description

APR pool management for Subversion.

Define Documentation

#define svn_pool_clear   apr_pool_clear

Clear a pool destroying its children.

This define for svn_pool_clear exists for completeness.

Definition at line 79 of file svn_pools.h.

#define svn_pool_destroy   apr_pool_destroy

Destroy a pool and all of its children.

This define for svn_pool_destroy exists for symmetry and completeness.

Definition at line 87 of file svn_pools.h.


Function Documentation

apr_allocator_t* svn_pool_create_allocator ( svn_boolean_t  thread_safe  ) 

Return a new allocator.

This function limits the unused memory in the new allocator to SVN_ALLOCATOR_RECOMMENDED_MAX_FREE and ensures proper synchronization if the allocator is used by multiple threads.

If your application uses multiple threads, creating a separate allocator for each of these threads may not be feasible. Set the thread_safe parameter to TRUE in that case; otherwise, set thread_safe to FALSE to maximize performance.

Note:
Even if thread_safe is TRUE, pools themselves will still not be thread-safe and their access may require explicit serialization.

To access the owner pool, which can also serve as the root pool for your sub-pools, call apr_allocator_get_owner().

Since:
: New in 1.8
apr_pool_t* svn_pool_create_ex ( apr_pool_t *  parent_pool,
apr_allocator_t *  allocator 
)

Wrapper around apr_pool_create_ex(), with a simpler interface.

The return pool will have an abort function set, which will call abort() on OOM.
