[PATCH v2 0/3] Extract memory pool logic into reusable component

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Changes from v1:
  - Rework the structure of commits to be more reviewer friendly.

This patch series extracts the memory pool implementation, currently
used by fast-import, into a generalized component. This memory pool
can then be generally used by any component that needs a pool of
memory.

This patch is in preparation for a change to speed up the loading of
indexes with a large number of cache entries by reducing the number of
malloc() calls. For a rough example of how this component will be used
in this capacity, please see [1].

The last commit in this series includes changes to fill out the
mem_pool type into a more complete implementation. These functions are
not used in this change, but we will be used in an upcoming patch
series. I can remove this commit if it is desired.
