/* -------------------------------------------------------------------- By Bob Jenkins, September 1996. recycle.h You may use this code in any way you wish, and it is free. No warranty. This manages memory for commonly-allocated structures. It allocates RESTART to REMAX items at a time. Timings have shown that, if malloc is used for every new structure, malloc will consume about 90% of the time in a program. This module cuts down the number of mallocs by an order of magnitude. This also decreases memory fragmentation, and freeing all structures only requires freeing the root. -------------------------------------------------------------------- */ #ifndef STANDARD #include "standard.h" #endif #ifndef RECYCLE #define RECYCLE #define RESTART 0 #define REMAX 32000 struct recycle { struct recycle *next; }; typedef struct recycle recycle; struct reroot { struct recycle *list; /* list of malloced blocks */ struct recycle *trash; /* list of deleted items */ size_t size; /* size of an item */ size_t logsize; /* log_2 of number of items in a block */ word numleft; /* number of bytes left in this block */ }; typedef struct reroot reroot; /* make a new recycling root */ reroot *remkroot(/*_ size_t mysize _*/); /* free a recycling root and all the items it has made */ void refree(/*_ struct reroot *r _*/); /* get a new (cleared) item from the root */ #define renew(r) ((r)->numleft ? \ (((char *)((r)->list+1))+((r)->numleft-=(r)->size)) : renewx(r)) char *renewx(/*_ struct reroot *r _*/); /* delete an item; let the root recycle it */ /* void redel(/o_ struct reroot *r, struct recycle *item _o/); */ #define redel(root,item) { \ ((recycle *)item)->next=(root)->trash; \ (root)->trash=(recycle *)(item); \ } /* malloc, but complain to stderr and exit program if no joy */ /* use plain free() to free memory allocated by remalloc() */ char *remalloc(/*_ size_t len, char *purpose _*/); #endif /* RECYCLE */
