Freed blocks are remembered in a free list and are reused as necessary to allocate new blocks, so as to avoid as much as possible making calls to malloc() and free(). This is a container object. Declare a block-type object of a specific type as follows: struct mytype_blocktype { Blocktype_declare (mytype); }; Use the following functions/macros: structype *Blocktype_new(structype) [MACRO] Create a new block-type object of the specified type. The argument to this call should be the type of object to be created, e.g. foobar_blocktype. type *Blocktype_alloc(b) [MACRO] Allocate a block of the proper type for the specified block-type object and return a pointer to it. Blocktype_free(b, block) Free a block of the type corresponding to the specified block-type object. Blocktype_delete(b) Destroy a block-type object and the memory allocated to it. */ /* This file has been Mule-ized. */ #include #include "lisp.h" #include "blocktype.h" typedef struct blocktype { Blocktype_declare (void); } Blocktype; struct block_internal { void *next; }; void * Blocktype_newf (Bytecount elsize) { Blocktype *b = xnew (Blocktype); b->elsize = max (elsize, (Bytecount) sizeof (void *)); b->free = 0; return (void *) b; } void Blocktype_allocf (void *bbb) { Blocktype *b = (Blocktype *) bbb; if (b->free) { b->tempel = b->free; b->free = ((struct block_internal *) (b->free))->next; } else b->tempel = (void *) xmalloc (b->elsize); } void Blocktype_free (void *bbb, void *el) { Blocktype *b = (Blocktype *) bbb; ((struct block_internal *) el)->next = b->free; b->free = el; }
