Phil Sorber commented on TS-2581:
---------------------------------
Further research shows that the TSIOBuffer you get back is a couple
abstractions above the properly sized chunk of data you really want. We should
create a new API that gets data from ioBufAllocator[SIZE] instead. We should
also pay attention to track the size so that we know which allocator to place
it back on when done.
> Add / modify APIs to allow easy freelist allocation of iobuffer's from C/C++
> plugins

> 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.
