Guys, As discussed on the last call, I did a rework of the VPP vector (and pool) allocator.
https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/vpp/+/35718 Here is the list of changes: - support of in-place growth of vectors (if there is available space next to existing alloc) - drops the need for alloc_aligned_at_offset from memory allocator, which allows easier swap to different memory allocator and reduces malloc overhead - rework of pool and vec macros to inline functions to improve debuggability - fix alignment - in many cases macros were not using native alignment of the particular datatype. Explicitly setting alignment with XXX_aligned() versions of the macro is not needed anymore in > 99% of cases - fix ASAN usage - avoid use of vector of voids, this was root cause of several bugs found in vec_* and pool_* function where sizeof() was used on voids instead of real vector data type - introduce minimal alignment which is currently 8 bytes, vectors will be always aligned at least to that value (underlay allocator actually always provide 16-byte aligned allocs) Please let me know if any feedback. Thanks! — Damjan
