◆ apr_pool_create

#define apr_pool_create (   newpool,
  parent 
)     apr_pool_create_ex(newpool, parent, NULL, NULL)

Create a new pool.

Parameters
newpoolThe pool we have just created.
parentThe parent pool. If this is NULL, the new pool is a root pool. If it is non-NULL, the new pool will inherit all of its parent pool's attributes, except the apr_pool_t will be a sub-pool.
Remarks
This function is thread-safe, in the sense that multiple threads can safely create subpools of the same parent pool concurrently. Similarly, a subpool can be created by one thread at the same time that another thread accesses the parent pool.

Definition at line 322 of file apr_pools.h.

◆ apr_pool_create_core

#define apr_pool_create_core (   newpool)     apr_pool_create_unmanaged_ex(newpool, NULL, NULL)

Create a new unmanaged pool.

Parameters
newpoolThe pool we have just created.

Definition at line 343 of file apr_pools.h.

◆ apr_pool_create_unmanaged

#define apr_pool_create_unmanaged (   newpool)     apr_pool_create_unmanaged_ex(newpool, NULL, NULL)

Definition at line 345 of file apr_pools.h.

◆ APR_POOL_DECLARE_ACCESSOR

#define APR_POOL_DECLARE_ACCESSOR (   type)
Value:
(const apr_##type##_t *the##type)

Definition apr_pools.h:646
int type

Definition apr_pools.h:444

Declaration helper macro to construct apr_foo_pool_get()s.

This standardized macro is used by opaque (APR) data types to return the apr_pool_t that is associated with the data type.

APR_POOL_DECLARE_ACCESSOR() is used in a header file to declare the accessor function. A typical usage and result would be:

   APR_POOL_DECLARE_ACCESSOR(file);
becomes:
   APR_DECLARE(apr_pool_t *) apr_file_pool_get(const apr_file_t *thefile);
Remarks
Doxygen unwraps this macro (via doxygen.conf) to provide actual help for each specific occurrence of apr_foo_pool_get.
the linkage is specified for APR. It would be possible to expand the macros to support other linkages.

Definition at line 81 of file apr_pools.h.

◆ APR_POOL_IMPLEMENT_ACCESSOR

#define APR_POOL_IMPLEMENT_ACCESSOR (   type)
Value:
(const apr_##type##_t *the##type) \
{ return the##type->pool; }

Implementation helper macro to provide apr_foo_pool_get()s.

In the implementation, the APR_POOL_IMPLEMENT_ACCESSOR() is used to actually define the function. It assumes the field is named "pool".

Definition at line 91 of file apr_pools.h.

Typedef Documentation

◆ APR_DECLARE() [1/5]

APR_DECLARE ( apr_abortfunc_t  )

Get the abort function associated with the specified pool.

Parameters
poolThe pool for retrieving the abort function.
Returns
The abort function for the given pool.

Definition at line 2372 of file apr_pools.c.

◆ APR_DECLARE() [2/5]

APR_DECLARE ( apr_allocator_t )

Find the pool's allocator

Parameters
poolThe pool to get the allocator from.

Definition at line 2389 of file apr_pools.c.

◆ APR_DECLARE() [3/5]

APR_DECLARE ( apr_pool_t )

Get the parent pool of the specified pool.

Parameters
poolThe pool for retrieving the parent pool.
Returns
The parent of the given pool.

Get the current owner of the allocator

Parameters
allocatorThe allocator to get the owner from

Definition at line 272 of file open.c.

◆ APR_DECLARE() [4/5]

APR_DECLARE ( apr_status_t  )

Setup all of the internal structures required to use pools

Remarks
Programs do NOT need to call this directly. APR will call this automatically from apr_initialize.

Create a new pool.

Parameters
newpoolThe pool we have just created.
parentThe parent pool. If this is NULL, the new pool is a root pool. If it is non-NULL, the new pool will inherit all of its parent pool's attributes, except the apr_pool_t will be a sub-pool.
abort_fnA function to use if the pool cannot allocate more memory.
allocatorThe allocator to use with the new pool. If NULL the allocator of the parent pool will be used.
Remarks
This function is thread-safe, in the sense that multiple threads can safely create subpools of the same parent pool concurrently. Similarly, a subpool can be created by one thread at the same time that another thread accesses the parent pool.

Create a new pool.

Deprecated:
See also
apr_pool_create_unmanaged_ex.

Create a new unmanaged pool.

Parameters
newpoolThe pool we have just created.
abort_fnA function to use if the pool cannot allocate more memory.
allocatorThe allocator to use with the new pool. If NULL a new allocator will be created with the new pool as owner.
Remarks
An unmanaged pool is a special pool without a parent; it will NOT be destroyed upon apr_terminate. It must be explicitly destroyed by calling apr_pool_destroy, to prevent memory leaks. Use of this function is discouraged, think twice about whether you really really need it.
Warning
Any child cleanups registered against the new pool, or against sub-pools thereof, will not be executed during an invocation of apr_proc_create(), so resources created in an "unmanaged" pool hierarchy will leak to child processes.

Debug version of apr_pool_create_ex.

Parameters
newpool
See also
apr_pool_create.
Parameters
parent
See also
apr_pool_create.
Parameters
abort_fn
See also
apr_pool_create.
Parameters
allocator
See also
apr_pool_create.
Parameters
file_lineWhere the function is called from. This is usually APR_POOL__FILE_LINE__.
Remarks
Only available when APR_POOL_DEBUG is defined. Call this directly if you have your apr_pool_create_ex calls in a wrapper function and wish to override the file_line argument to reflect the caller of your wrapper function. If you do not have apr_pool_create_ex in a wrapper, trust the macro and don't call apr_pool_create_ex_debug directly.

Debug version of apr_pool_create_core_ex.

Deprecated:
See also
apr_pool_create_unmanaged_ex_debug.

Debug version of apr_pool_create_unmanaged_ex.

Parameters
newpool
See also
apr_pool_create_unmanaged.
Parameters
abort_fn
See also
apr_pool_create_unmanaged.
Parameters
allocator
See also
apr_pool_create_unmanaged.
Parameters
file_lineWhere the function is called from. This is usually APR_POOL__FILE_LINE__.
Remarks
Only available when APR_POOL_DEBUG is defined. Call this directly if you have your apr_pool_create_unmanaged_ex calls in a wrapper function and wish to override the file_line argument to reflect the caller of your wrapper function. If you do not have apr_pool_create_core_ex in a wrapper, trust the macro and don't call apr_pool_create_core_ex_debug directly.

Determine if pool a is an ancestor of pool b.

Parameters
aThe pool to search
bThe pool to search for
Returns
True if a is an ancestor of b, NULL is considered an ancestor of all pools.
Remarks
if compiled with APR_POOL_DEBUG, this function will also return true if A is a pool which has been guaranteed by the caller (using apr_pool_join) to have a lifetime at least as long as some ancestor of pool B.

Set the data associated with the current pool

Parameters
dataThe user data associated with the pool.
keyThe key to use for association
cleanupThe cleanup program to use to cleanup the data (NULL if none)
poolThe current pool
Warning
The data to be attached to the pool should have a life span at least as long as the pool it is being attached to.

Users of APR must take EXTREME care when choosing a key to use for their data. It is possible to accidentally overwrite data by choosing a key that another part of the program is using. Therefore it is advised that steps are taken to ensure that unique keys are used for all of the userdata objects in a particular pool (the same key in two different pools or a pool and one of its subpools is okay) at all times. Careful namespace prefixing of key names is a typical way to help ensure this uniqueness.

Set the data associated with the current pool

Parameters
dataThe user data associated with the pool.
keyThe key to use for association
cleanupThe cleanup program to use to cleanup the data (NULL if none)
poolThe current pool
Note
same as apr_pool_userdata_set(), except that this version doesn't make a copy of the key (this function is useful, for example, when the key is a string literal)
Warning
This should NOT be used if the key could change addresses by any means between the apr_pool_userdata_setn() call and a subsequent apr_pool_userdata_get() on that key, such as if a static string is used as a userdata key in a DSO and the DSO could be unloaded and reloaded between the _setn() and the _get(). You MUST use apr_pool_userdata_set() in such cases.
More generally, the key and the data to be attached to the pool should have a life span at least as long as the pool itself.

Return the data associated with the current pool.

Parameters
dataThe user data associated with the pool.
keyThe key for the data to retrieve
poolThe current pool.

The problem with trying to output the entire iovec is that we cannot maintain the behaviour that a real writev would have. If we iterate over the iovec one at a time, we lose the atomic properties of writev(). The other option is to combine the entire iovec into one buffer that we could then send in one call to write(). This is not reasonable since we do not know how much data an iovec could contain.

The only reasonable option, that maintains the semantics of a real writev(), is to only write the first iovec. Callers of file_writev() must deal with partial writes as they normally would. If you want to ensure an entire iovec is written, use apr_file_writev_full().
