/* A version of malloc/free/realloc written by Doug Lea and released to the public domain. Send questions/comments/complaints/performance data to dl@cs.oswego.edu * VERSION 2.6.6 Sun Mar 5 19:10:03 2000 Doug Lea (dl at gee) Note: There may be an updated version of this malloc obtainable at ftp://g.oswego.edu/pub/misc/malloc.c Check before installing! * Why use this malloc? This is not the fastest, most space-conserving, most portable, or most tunable malloc ever written. However it is among the fastest while also being among the most space-conserving, portable and tunable. Consistent balance across these factors results in a good general-purpose allocator. For a high-level description, see http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html * Synopsis of public routines (Much fuller descriptions are contained in the program documentation below.) malloc(size_t n); Return a pointer to a newly allocated chunk of at least n bytes, or null if no space is available. free(Void_t* p); Release the chunk of memory pointed to by p, or no effect if p is null. realloc(Void_t* p, size_t n); Return a pointer to a chunk of size n that contains the same data as does chunk p up to the minimum of (n, p's size) bytes, or null if no space is available. The returned pointer may or may not be the same as p. If p is null, equivalent to malloc. Unless the #define REALLOC_ZERO_BYTES_FREES below is set, realloc with a size argument of zero (re)allocates a minimum-sized chunk. memalign(size_t alignment, size_t n); Return a pointer to a newly allocated chunk of n bytes, aligned in accord with the alignment argument, which must be a power of two. valloc(size_t n); Equivalent to memalign(pagesize, n), where pagesize is the page size of the system (or as near to this as can be figured out from all the includes/defines below.) pvalloc(size_t n); Equivalent to valloc(minimum-page-that-holds(n)), that is, round up n to nearest pagesize. calloc(size_t unit, size_t quantity); Returns a pointer to quantity * unit bytes, with all locations set to zero. cfree(Void_t* p); Equivalent to free(p). malloc_trim(size_t pad); Release all but pad bytes of freed top-most memory back to the system. Return 1 if successful, else 0. malloc_usable_size(Void_t* p); Report the number usable allocated bytes associated with allocated chunk p. This may or may not report more bytes than were requested, due to alignment and minimum size constraints. malloc_stats(); Prints brief summary statistics on stderr. mallinfo() Returns (by copy) a struct containing various summary statistics. mallopt(int parameter_number, int parameter_value) Changes one of the tunable parameters described below. Returns 1 if successful in changing the parameter, else 0. * Vital statistics: Alignment: 8-byte 8 byte alignment is currently hardwired into the design. This seems to suffice for all current machines and C compilers. Assumed pointer representation: 4 or 8 bytes Code for 8-byte pointers is untested by me but has worked reliably by Wolfram Gloger, who contributed most of the changes supporting this. Assumed size_t representation: 4 or 8 bytes Note that size_t is allowed to be 4 bytes even if pointers are 8. Minimum overhead per allocated chunk: 4 or 8 bytes Each malloced chunk has a hidden overhead of 4 bytes holding size and status information. Minimum allocated size: 4-byte ptrs: 16 bytes (including 4 overhead) 8-byte ptrs: 24/32 bytes (including, 4/8 overhead) When a chunk is freed, 12 (for 4byte ptrs) or 20 (for 8 byte ptrs but 4 byte size) or 24 (for 8/8) additional bytes are needed; 4 (8) for a trailing size field and 8 (16) bytes for free list pointers. Thus, the minimum allocatable size is 16/24/32 bytes. Even a request for zero bytes (i.e., malloc(0)) returns a pointer to something of the minimum allocatable size. Maximum allocated size: 4-byte size_t: 2^31 - 8 bytes 8-byte size_t: 2^63 - 16 bytes It is assumed that (possibly signed) size_t bit values suffice to represent chunk sizes. `Possibly signed' is due to the fact that `size_t' may be defined on a system as either a signed or an unsigned type. To be conservative, values that would appear as negative numbers are avoided. Requests for sizes with a negative sign bit when the request size is treaded as a long will return null. Maximum overhead wastage per allocated chunk: normally 15 bytes Alignnment demands, plus the minimum allocatable size restriction make the normal worst-case wastage 15 bytes (i.e., up to 15 more bytes will be allocated than were requested in malloc), with two exceptions: 1. Because requests for zero bytes allocate non-zero space, the worst case wastage for a request of zero bytes is 24 bytes. 2. For requests >= mmap_threshold that are serviced via mmap(), the worst case wastage is 8 bytes plus the remainder from a system page (the minimal mmap unit); typically 4096 bytes. * Limitations Here are some features that are NOT currently supported * No user-definable hooks for callbacks and the like. * No automated mechanism for fully checking that all accesses to malloced memory stay within their bounds. * No support for compaction. * Synopsis of compile-time options: People have reported using previous versions of this malloc on all versions of Unix, sometimes by tweaking some of the defines below. It has been tested most extensively on Solaris and Linux. It is also reported to work on WIN32 platforms. People have also reported adapting this malloc for use in stand-alone embedded systems. The implementation is in straight, hand-tuned ANSI C. Among other consequences, it uses a lot of macros. Because of this, to be at all usable, this code should be compiled using an optimizing compiler (for example gcc -O2) that can simplify expressions and control paths. __STD_C (default: derived from C compiler defines) Nonzero if using ANSI-standard C compiler, a C++ compiler, or a C compiler sufficiently close to ANSI to get away with it. DEBUG (default: NOT defined) Define to enable debugging. Adds fairly extensive assertion-based checking to help track down memory errors, but noticeably slows down execution. REALLOC_ZERO_BYTES_FREES (default: NOT defined) Define this if you think that realloc(p, 0) should be equivalent to free(p). Otherwise, since malloc returns a unique pointer for malloc(0), so does realloc(p, 0). HAVE_MEMCPY (default: defined) Define if you are not otherwise using ANSI STD C, but still have memcpy and memset in your C library and want to use them. Otherwise, simple internal versions are supplied. USE_MEMCPY (default: 1 if HAVE_MEMCPY is defined, 0 otherwise) Define as 1 if you want the C library versions of memset and memcpy called in realloc and calloc (otherwise macro versions are used). At least on some platforms, the simple macro versions usually outperform libc versions. HAVE_MMAP (default: defined as 1) Define to non-zero to optionally make malloc() use mmap() to allocate very large blocks. HAVE_MREMAP (default: defined as 0 unless Linux libc set) Define to non-zero to optionally make realloc() use mremap() to reallocate very large blocks. malloc_getpagesize (default: derived from system #includes) Either a constant or routine call returning the system page size. HAVE_USR_INCLUDE_MALLOC_H (default: NOT defined) Optionally define if you are on a system with a /usr/include/malloc.h that declares struct mallinfo. It is not at all necessary to define this even if you do, but will ensure consistency. INTERNAL_SIZE_T (default: size_t) Define to a 32-bit type (probably `unsigned int') if you are on a 64-bit machine, yet do not want or need to allow malloc requests of greater than 2^31 to be handled. This saves space, especially for very small chunks. INTERNAL_LINUX_C_LIB (default: NOT defined) Defined only when compiled as part of Linux libc. Also note that there is some odd internal name-mangling via defines (for example, internally, `malloc' is named `mALLOc') needed when compiling in this case. These look funny but don't otherwise affect anything. WIN32 (default: undefined) Define this on MS win (95, nt) platforms to compile in sbrk emulation. LACKS_UNISTD_H (default: undefined if not WIN32) Define this if your system does not have a <unistd.h>. LACKS_SYS_PARAM_H (default: undefined if not WIN32) Define this if your system does not have a <sys/param.h>. MORECORE (default: sbrk) The name of the routine to call to obtain more memory from the system. MORECORE_FAILURE (default: -1) The value returned upon failure of MORECORE. MORECORE_CLEARS (default 1) True (1) if the routine mapped to MORECORE zeroes out memory (which holds for sbrk). DEFAULT_TRIM_THRESHOLD DEFAULT_TOP_PAD DEFAULT_MMAP_THRESHOLD DEFAULT_MMAP_MAX Default values of tunable parameters (described in detail below) controlling interaction with host system routines (sbrk, mmap, etc). These values may also be changed dynamically via mallopt(). The preset defaults are those that give best performance for typical programs/systems. USE_DL_PREFIX (default: undefined) Prefix all public routines with the string 'dl'. Useful to quickly avoid procedure declaration conflicts and linker symbol conflicts with existing memory allocation routines. */ #ifndef __MALLOC_H__ #define __MALLOC_H__ /* Preliminaries */ #ifndef __STD_C #ifdef __STDC__ #define __STD_C 1 #else #if __cplusplus #define __STD_C 1 #else #define __STD_C 0 #endif /*__cplusplus*/ #endif /*__STDC__*/ #endif /*__STD_C*/ #ifndef Void_t #if (__STD_C || defined(WIN32)) #define Void_t void #else #define Void_t char #endif #endif /*Void_t*/ #if __STD_C #include <linux/stddef.h> /* for size_t */ #else #include <sys/types.h> #endif /* __STD_C */ #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif #if 0 /* not for U-Boot */ #include <stdio.h> /* needed for malloc_stats */ #endif /* Compile-time options */ /* Debugging: Because freed chunks may be overwritten with link fields, this malloc will often die when freed memory is overwritten by user programs.

Automatic trimming is mainly useful in long-lived programs. Because trimming via sbrk can be slow on some systems, and can sometimes be wasteful (in cases where programs immediately afterward allocate more large chunks) the value should be high enough so that your overall system performance would improve by releasing. The trim threshold and the mmap control parameters (see below) can be traded off with one another. Trimming and mmapping are two different ways of releasing unused memory back to the system. Between these two, it is often possible to keep system-level demands of a long-lived program down to a bare minimum. For example, in one test suite of sessions measuring the XF86 X server on Linux, using a trim threshold of 128K and a mmap threshold of 192K led to near-minimal long term resource consumption. If you are using this malloc in a long-lived program, it should pay to experiment with these values. As a rough guide, you might set to a value close to the average size of a process (program) running on your system. Releasing this much memory would allow such a process to run in memory. Generally, it's worth it to tune for trimming rather tham memory mapping when a program undergoes phases where several large chunks are allocated and released in ways that can reuse each other's storage, perhaps mixed with phases where there are no such chunks at all. And in well-behaved long-lived programs, controlling release of large blocks via trimming versus mapping is usually faster. However, in most programs, these parameters serve mainly as protection against the system-level effects of carrying around massive amounts of unneeded memory. Since frequent calls to sbrk, mmap, and munmap otherwise degrade performance, the default parameters are set to relatively high values that serve only as safeguards. The default trim value is high enough to cause trimming only in fairly extreme (by current memory consumption standards) cases. It must be greater than page size to have any useful effect. To disable trimming completely, you can set to (unsigned long)(-1); */ #ifndef DEFAULT_TOP_PAD #define DEFAULT_TOP_PAD (0) #endif /* M_TOP_PAD is the amount of extra `padding' space to allocate or retain whenever sbrk is called. It is used in two ways internally: * When sbrk is called to extend the top of the arena to satisfy a new malloc request, this much padding is added to the sbrk request. * When malloc_trim is called automatically from free(), it is used as the `pad' argument. In both cases, the actual amount of padding is rounded so that the end of the arena is always a system page boundary. The main reason for using padding is to avoid calling sbrk so often. Having even a small pad greatly reduces the likelihood that nearly every malloc request during program start-up (or after trimming) will invoke sbrk, which needlessly wastes time. Automatic rounding-up to page-size units is normally sufficient to avoid measurable overhead, so the default is 0. However, in systems where sbrk is relatively slow, it can pay to increase this value, at the expense of carrying around more memory than the program needs. */ #ifndef DEFAULT_MMAP_THRESHOLD #define DEFAULT_MMAP_THRESHOLD (128 * 1024) #endif /* M_MMAP_THRESHOLD is the request size threshold for using mmap() to service a request. Requests of at least this size that cannot be allocated using already-existing space will be serviced via mmap. (If enough normal freed space already exists it is used instead.) Using mmap segregates relatively large chunks of memory so that they can be individually obtained and released from the host system. A request serviced through mmap is never reused by any other request (at least not directly; the system may just so happen to remap successive requests to the same locations). Segregating space in this way has the benefit that mmapped space can ALWAYS be individually released back to the system, which helps keep the system level memory demands of a long-lived program low. Mapped memory can never become `locked' between other chunks, as can happen with normally allocated chunks, which menas that even trimming via malloc_trim would not release them. However, it has the disadvantages that: 1. The space cannot be reclaimed, consolidated, and then used to service later requests, as happens with normal chunks. 2. It can lead to more wastage because of mmap page alignment requirements 3. It causes malloc performance to be more dependent on host system memory management support routines which may vary in implementation quality and may impose arbitrary limitations. Generally, servicing a request via normal malloc steps is faster than going through a system's mmap.
