Memory pool

Non thread safe implementation of a fixed size blocks memory pool. Feature : memcheck aware

BUILD

To build static and shared libraries, just run make.

USAGE

struct pool p;
void *block;
size_t align = sizeof(int);

ret = pool_init(&p, element_count, element_size, align);
if (ret) {
    /* handle error */
}

block = pool_alloc(&p);
if (block == NULL) {
    /* handle error */
}

pool_free(&p, block);
pool_clean(&p);

TEST

In order to test only the library, you can build a test binary :

Statically linked:
make DEBUG=1 STATIC=1 test
valgrind --leak-check=full ./test/pool_test

Dynamically linked:
make DEBUG=1 STATIC=0 test
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=lib valgrind --leak-check=full ./test/pool_test

NOTES

• check the size written in allocated block. You may corrupt the pool.
• pool_free do not check if you free previously allocated elements from the pool.
