Having trouble getting objects to use a specific zone.
The following test code snippet demonstrates the problem I'm having:
NSZone * zone = NSCreateZone(vm_page_size * 2, vm_page_size, YES);
if (zone)
{
NSSetZoneName(zone, @"IN THE ZONE!!!");
char * cstring = (char *)NSZoneCalloc(zone, 50, 1);
if (cstring)
{
sprintf(cstring, "abc!!");
NSLog(@" zone = %p", (void *)zone);
NSLog(@"cstring = %p", (void *)cstring);
NSLog(@" end = %p", (void *)(((unsigned char
*)cstring)+(vm_page_size * 2)));
NSZone * _czone = NSZoneFromPointer((void *)cstring);
if (_czone)
{
NSLog(@"cstring.zone name = %@",
NSZoneName(_czone));
}
}
NSString * string = [[NSString allocWithZone:zone]
initWithFormat:@"abc!!!"];
if (string)
{
NSLog(@" zone = %p", (void *)zone);
NSLog(@"string = %p", (void *)string);
NSLog(@" end = %p", (void *)(((unsigned char
*)string)+(vm_page_size * 2)));
NSZone * _zone = NSZoneFromPointer((void *)string);
if (_zone)
{
NSLog(@"string.zone name = %@",
NSZoneName(_zone));
}
}
}
... this code generates the following output:
2010-08-09 22:06:22.765 zonetest[24440:a0f] zone = 0x114658000
2010-08-09 22:06:22.768 zonetest[24440:a0f] cstring = 0x114b00010
2010-08-09 22:06:22.769 zonetest[24440:a0f] end = 0x114b02010
2010-08-09 22:06:22.770 zonetest[24440:a0f] cstring.zone name = IN THE
ZONE!!!
2010-08-09 22:06:22.770 zonetest[24440:a0f] zone = 0x114658000
2010-08-09 22:06:22.771 zonetest[24440:a0f] string = 0x10010ab30
2010-08-09 22:06:22.771 zonetest[24440:a0f] end = 0x10010cb30
2010-08-09 22:06:22.772 zonetest[24440:a0f] string.zone name =
DefaultMallocZone
As you can see, the c string is successfully allocated from space in
the custom zone. But the NSString object is allocated from the default
zone, despite having called +[NSObject allocWithZone:].
Anyone know the trick to this?
Thanks.
Chuck
