Detailed Description

Fixed length block allocator.

Pools are built from clib vectors and bitmaps. Use pools when repeatedly allocating and freeing fixed-size data. Pools are fast, and avoid memory fragmentation.

#define NULL
Definition: clib.h:58
pool_foreach
#define pool_foreach(VAR, POOL, BODY)
Iterate through pool.
Definition: pool.h:493
pool_elt_at_index
#define pool_elt_at_index(p, i)
Returns pointer to element at given index.
Definition: pool.h:514

Remove all elements from a pool in a safe way.

Parameters
VAReach element in the pool
POOLThe pool to flush
BODYThe actions to perform on each element before it is returned to the pool. i.e. before it is 'freed'

Definition at line 553 of file pool.h.

◆ pool_foreach

#define pool_foreach (   VAR,
  POOL,
  BODY 
)
Value:
do { \
uword _pool_foreach_lo, _pool_foreach_hi; \
pool_foreach_region (_pool_foreach_lo, _pool_foreach_hi, (POOL), \
({ \
for ((VAR) = (POOL) + _pool_foreach_lo; \
(VAR) < (POOL) + _pool_foreach_hi; \
(VAR)++) \
do { BODY; } while (0); \
})); \
} while (0)

Iterate through pool.

Parameters
VARA variable of same type as pool vector to be used as an iterator.
POOLThe pool to iterate across.
BODYThe operation to perform, typically a code block. See the example below.

This macro will call BODY with each active pool element.

It is a bad idea to allocate or free pool element from within pool_foreach. Build a vector of indices and dispose of them later. Or call pool_flush.

Example
proc_t *procs; // a pool of processes.
proc_t *proc; // pointer to one process; used as the iterator.
pool_foreach (proc, procs, ({
if (proc->state != PROC_STATE_RUNNING)
continue;
// check a running proc in some way
...
}));
Warning
Because pool_foreach is a macro, syntax errors can be difficult to find inside BODY, let alone actual code bugs. One can temporarily split a complex pool_foreach into a trivial pool_foreach which builds a vector of active indices, and a vec_foreach() (or plain for-loop) to walk the active index vector.
