Description
Details
Macro DEBUG_MEMORY
#define DEBUG_MEMORY;
DEBUG_MEMORY replaces the allocator with a collect and debug shell to the libc allocator. DEBUG_MEMORY should only be activated when debugging libxml i.e. if libxml has been configured with --with-debug-mem too. #define DEBUG_MEMORY_FREED #define DEBUG_MEMORY_LOCATION
Function type xmlFreeFunc
void xmlFreeFunc (void * mem)
Signature for a free() implementation.
| mem: | an already allocated block of memory |
Function type xmlMallocFunc
void * xmlMallocFunc (size_t size)
Signature for a malloc() implementation.
| size: | the size requested in bytes |
| Returns: | a pointer to the newly allocated block or NULL in case of error. |
Function type xmlReallocFunc
void * xmlReallocFunc (void * mem,
size_t size)
Signature for a realloc() implementation.
| mem: | an already allocated block of memory |
| size: | the new size requested in bytes |
| Returns: | a pointer to the newly reallocated block or NULL in case of error. |
Function type xmlStrdupFunc
char * xmlStrdupFunc (const char * str)
Signature for an strdup() implementation.
| str: | a zero terminated string |
| Returns: | the copy of the string or NULL in case of error. |
xmlCleanupMemory ()
void xmlCleanupMemory (void)
Free up all the memory allocated by the library for its own use. This should not be called by user level code.
xmlGcMemGet ()
int xmlGcMemGet (xmlFreeFunc * freeFunc,
xmlMallocFunc * mallocFunc,
xmlMallocFunc * mallocAtomicFunc,
xmlReallocFunc * reallocFunc,
xmlStrdupFunc * strdupFunc)
Provides the memory access functions set currently in use The mallocAtomicFunc is specialized for atomic block allocations (i.e. of areas useful for garbage collected memory allocators
| freeFunc: | place to save the free() function in use |
| mallocFunc: | place to save the malloc() function in use |
| mallocAtomicFunc: | place to save the atomic malloc() function in use |
| reallocFunc: | place to save the realloc() function in use |
| strdupFunc: | place to save the strdup() function in use |
| Returns: | 0 on success |
xmlGcMemSetup ()
int xmlGcMemSetup (xmlFreeFunc freeFunc,
xmlMallocFunc mallocFunc,
xmlMallocFunc mallocAtomicFunc,
xmlReallocFunc reallocFunc,
xmlStrdupFunc strdupFunc)
Override the default memory access functions with a new set This has to be called before any other libxml routines ! The mallocAtomicFunc is specialized for atomic block allocations (i.e. of areas useful for garbage collected memory allocators Should this be blocked if there was already some allocations done ?
| freeFunc: | the free() function to use |
| mallocFunc: | the malloc() function to use |
| mallocAtomicFunc: | the malloc() function to use for atomic allocations |
| reallocFunc: | the realloc() function to use |
| strdupFunc: | the strdup() function to use |
| Returns: | 0 on success |
xmlMallocAtomicLoc ()
void * xmlMallocAtomicLoc (size_t size,
const char * file,
int line)
a malloc() equivalent, with logging of the allocation info.
| size: | an unsigned int specifying the size in byte to allocate. |
| file: | the file name or NULL |
| line: | the line number |
| Returns: | a pointer to the allocated area or NULL in case of lack of memory. |
xmlMallocLoc ()
void * xmlMallocLoc (size_t size,
const char * file,
int line)
a malloc() equivalent, with logging of the allocation info.
| size: | an int specifying the size in byte to allocate. |
| file: | the file name or NULL |
| line: | the line number |
| Returns: | a pointer to the allocated area or NULL in case of lack of memory. |
xmlMemBlocks ()
int xmlMemBlocks (void)
Provides the number of memory areas currently allocated
| Returns: | an int representing the number of blocks |
xmlMemDisplay ()
void xmlMemDisplay (FILE * fp)

| fp: | a FILE descriptor used as the output file, if NULL, the result is written to the file .memorylist |
xmlMemDisplayLast ()
void xmlMemDisplayLast (FILE * fp,
long nbBytes)
the last nbBytes of memory allocated and not freed, useful for dumping the memory left allocated between two places at runtime.
