Hi,
Thanks for this response.
For the new config, there is no problem because I create a new one only when
my "create config method" (create_snu_config method) is called :
static void *create_snu_config(apr_pool_t *p, server_rec *s)
{
...
newcfg = (snu_config *) apr_pcalloc(p, sizeof(snu_config));
...
}
However, on the handler method (snu_handler) which is called at each time a
client perform a request, I need to allocate memory. I wrote the following
instruction :
static int snu_handler(request_rec *r)
{
...
eni.calling = (char *) apr_pcalloc(r->pool, TAILL_CHAMPS * sizeof(char));
...
}
My mistake was "how to free this allocated memory?".
If I understand well:
- The request_rec pool (r->pool) is not the same pool as the
apr_pool_t "p" used in the create_snu_config method
- The request_rec pool (r->pool) is free automatically at the end of
the client request (end of the snu_handler pool)
Thanks a lot for your help (and sorry for my english).
