Hello all,
In my apache module, I receive, process and return large amounts of data.
The size of the data could be as large as 100's of megabytes. I allocate
memory from the request pool and let apache clean up the memory after each
request is served.
Although, apache is supposed to reclaim memory after each request is served,
I would like to explicitly clean up memory after processing each request.
This is because of the fact that size of data associated with each requests
and a large number of clients calling in to the module.
After doing some research this is what I am thinking about doing. In my
module_handler
apr_allocator_t *local_allocator = NULL;
apr_pool_t *localPool = NULL;
apr_allocator_create(&local_allocator);
apr_pool_create_ex(&localPool, NULL, NULL, local_allocator);
...................
...................
allocate memory from this local pool
...................
...................
apr_pool_destroy(localPool);
apr_allocator_destroy(local_allocator);
return OK;
Do you guys see any problem with this approach?
