extern pascal OSStatus InitOTMemoryReserve(ByteCount freeHeapSpaceRequired, ByteCount chunkSize, |
ItemCount minChunks, ItemCount maxChunks, |
OTClientContextPtr clientContext); |
// Initialises the module. Creates an OT memory reserve using |
// chunkSize chunks. At least minChunks will be allocated. At most |
// maxChunks will be allocated. There will be at least freeHeapSpaceRequired |
// bytes left in the heap after the call. |
// |
// There are some simple rules to following for these parameters. |
// |
// o In order for this module to be effective chunkSize should be |
// significantly bigger than the largest block you will allocate |
// using OTAllocMemFromReserveInContext. |
// |
// o You should set freeHeapSpaceRequired to at least 32 KB, preferably |
// a larger value like 64 or 128 KB. Mac OS does not deal well if |
// if you have very little free space in your application partition. |
// |
// o If you intend to use OTAllocMemFromReserveInContext for your |
// primary application allocator, (minChunks * chunkSize) + freeHeapSpaceRequired + static allocation size |
// should be approximately equal to your minimum application partition |
// size. |
// |
// o DonÕt pass $FFFFFFFF to maxChunks, even if you want your entire |
// application partition (except for freeHeapSpaceRequired bytes) |
// to be used for the OT memory reserve. This will work on current |
// systems (because OTAllocMemInContext will be allocating from |
// your application partition) but it may cause problems on future |
// systems (if OTAllocMemInContext is revised to get memory from |
// a read/write file mapping, for example). Thus is actually the |
// case on Mac OS X. This module does not make a lot of sense on |
// Mac OS X, but it will work properly if you pass a reasonable |
// value for maxChunks. |
// |
// o ItÕs likely that passing anything other than nil for clientContext |
// is a bad idea. This routine allocates the routine using OTAllocMemInContext, |
// passing clientContext as the context parameter. If you pass a non-nil |
// value (not the primary application context), itÕs likely that |
// OTAllocMemInContext wonÕt allocate memory from the application heap |
// and thus your |
extern pascal void TermOTMemoryReserve(void); |
// Terminates the module. |
extern pascal void *OTAllocMemFromReserveInContext(OTByteCount size, OTClientContextPtr clientContext); |
// Allocates memory from OT and, if that fails, returns part of |
// the memory reserve to OT and tries again. |
#if MORE_DEBUG |
extern pascal void OTMemoryReserveTest(void); |
// See comment in implementation part. |
