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.

pool_is_free
#define pool_is_free(P, E)

Definition: pool.h:203
ASSERT
#define ASSERT(truth)
Definition: error_bootstrap.h:69

Returns pointer to element at given index.

ASSERTs that the supplied index is valid. Even though one can write correct code of the form

1 p = pool_base + index;

use of pool_elt_at_index is strongly suggested.

pool_foreach_region
#define pool_foreach_region(LO, HI, POOL, BODY)
Optimized iteration through pool.
Definition: pool.h:275
uword
u64 uword
Definition: types.h:112

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.

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.
