Details

Macro DEBUG_MEMORY

#define DEBUG_MEMORY;

DEBUG_MEMORY replaces the allocator with a collect and debug shell to the libc allocator. DEBUG_MEMORY should only be activated when debugging libxml i.e. if libxml has been configured with --with-debug-mem too. #define DEBUG_MEMORY_FREED #define DEBUG_MEMORY_LOCATION

Function type xmlFreeFunc

void	xmlFreeFunc			(void * mem)

Signature for a free() implementation.

mem: an already allocated block of memory

Function type xmlMallocFunc

void *	xmlMallocFunc			(size_t size)

Signature for a malloc() implementation.

`size`:	the size requested in bytes
`Returns`:	a pointer to the newly allocated block or NULL in case of error.

Function type xmlReallocFunc

void *	xmlReallocFunc			(void * mem, 
					 size_t size)

Signature for a realloc() implementation.

`mem`:	an already allocated block of memory
`size`:	the new size requested in bytes
`Returns`:	a pointer to the newly reallocated block or NULL in case of error.

Function type xmlStrdupFunc

char *	xmlStrdupFunc			(const char * str)

Signature for an strdup() implementation.

`str`:	a zero terminated string
`Returns`:	the copy of the string or NULL in case of error.

xmlCleanupMemory ()

void	xmlCleanupMemory		(void)

DEPRECATED: This function will be made private. Call xmlCleanupParser to free global state but see the warnings there. xmlCleanupParser should be only called once at program exit. In most cases, you don't have call cleanup functions at all. Free up all the memory allocated by the library for its own use. This should not be called by user level code.

xmlGcMemGet ()

int	xmlGcMemGet			(xmlFreeFunc * freeFunc, 
					 xmlMallocFunc * mallocFunc, 
					 xmlMallocFunc * mallocAtomicFunc, 
					 xmlReallocFunc * reallocFunc, 
					 xmlStrdupFunc * strdupFunc)

Provides the memory access functions set currently in use The mallocAtomicFunc is specialized for atomic block allocations (i.e. of areas useful for garbage collected memory allocators

`freeFunc`:	place to save the free() function in use
`mallocFunc`:	place to save the malloc() function in use
`mallocAtomicFunc`:	place to save the atomic malloc() function in use
`reallocFunc`:	place to save the realloc() function in use
`strdupFunc`:	place to save the strdup() function in use
`Returns`:	0 on success

xmlGcMemSetup ()

int	xmlGcMemSetup			(xmlFreeFunc freeFunc, 
					 xmlMallocFunc mallocFunc, 
					 xmlMallocFunc mallocAtomicFunc, 
					 xmlReallocFunc reallocFunc, 
					 xmlStrdupFunc strdupFunc)

Override the default memory access functions with a new set This has to be called before any other libxml routines ! The mallocAtomicFunc is specialized for atomic block allocations (i.e. of areas useful for garbage collected memory allocators Should this be blocked if there was already some allocations done ?

`freeFunc`:	the free() function to use
`mallocFunc`:	the malloc() function to use
`mallocAtomicFunc`:	the malloc() function to use for atomic allocations
`reallocFunc`:	the realloc() function to use
`strdupFunc`:	the strdup() function to use
`Returns`:	0 on success

xmlInitMemory ()

int	xmlInitMemory			(void)

DEPRECATED: This function will be made private. Call xmlInitParser to initialize the library. Initialize the memory layer.

Returns: 0 on success

xmlMallocAtomicLoc ()

void *	xmlMallocAtomicLoc		(size_t size, 
					 const char * file, 
					 int line)

a malloc() equivalent, with logging of the allocation info.

`size`:	an unsigned int specifying the size in byte to allocate.
`file`:	the file name or NULL
`line`:	the line number
`Returns`:	a pointer to the allocated area or NULL in case of lack of memory.

xmlMallocLoc ()

void *	xmlMallocLoc			(size_t size, 
					 const char * file, 
					 int line)

a malloc() equivalent, with logging of the allocation info.

`size`:	an int specifying the size in byte to allocate.
`file`:	the file name or NULL
`line`:	the line number
`Returns`:	a pointer to the allocated area or NULL in case of lack of memory.

xmlMemBlocks ()

int	xmlMemBlocks			(void)

Provides the number of memory areas currently allocated

Returns: an int representing the number of blocks

xmlMemDisplay ()

void	xmlMemDisplay			(FILE * fp)

show in-extenso the memory blocks allocated

xmlMemDisplayLast ()

void	xmlMemDisplayLast		(FILE * fp, 
					 long nbBytes)

the last nbBytes of memory allocated and not freed, useful for dumping the memory left allocated between two places at runtime.

`fp`:	a FILE descriptor used as the output file, if NULL, the result is written to the file .memorylist
`nbBytes`:	the amount of memory to dump

xmlMemFree ()

void	xmlMemFree			(void * ptr)

a free() equivalent, with error checking.

ptr: the memory block pointer

xmlMemGet ()

int	xmlMemGet			(xmlFreeFunc * freeFunc,
