[PATCH] Slab infrastructure for array operations

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

 



This patch adds the basic infrastructure for alloc / free operations
on pointer arrays. It includes a fallback function.

Allocators must define _HAVE_SLAB_ALLOCATOR_OPERATIONS in their
header files in order to implement their own fast version for
these array operations.
