Leif Hedstrom created TS-2581:
---------------------------------
Summary: Add / modify APIs to allow easy freelist allocation of
iobuffer's from C/C++ plugins
Key: TS-2581
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-2581
Project: Traffic Server
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: TS API
Reporter: Leif Hedstrom
This would allow for efficient allocations in plugins, such that they can do an
in-place new() on a chunk of memory (iobuffer).
The API / features should make it easy and possible to asks for an iobuffer of
at least size <x>. It can return a bigger one, at which point, you'd waste
some. But this allows us to reuse / repurpose the existing iobuffer allocation.
Phil points out that there are existing iobuffer allocation APIs, so maybe
something in conjunction with that is appropriate. I would like for this to be
easy on the plugin user though, such that it's as simple as "malloc/free"
chains.
