2007-10-10r3052: added talloc_zero_p() and talloc_zero_array_p() calls, for allocating ↵Andrew Tridgell1-1/+5
zeroed memory (This used to be commit 65b7316e9b4589b02a8bd94150ccbfe526f6d159)
2007-10-10r2791: got rid of talloc_unreference() and instead created talloc_unlink(),Andrew Tridgell1-1/+1
which is much clearer and simpler to use. It removes a specific parent from a pointer, no matter whether that parent is a "reference" or a direct parent. This gives complete control over the free process. (This used to be commit 6c563887f1b9b8c842309a523e88b6f2a32db10f)
2007-10-10r2744: ben elliston taught me about gcov today, which allows you to measureAndrew Tridgell1-0/+39
the % coverage in terms of lines of code of a test suite. I thought a good first place to start with gcov was the talloc test suite. When I started the test suite covered about 60% of all lines of code in talloc.c, and now it covers about 99%. The only lines not covered are talloc corruption errors, as that would cause smb_panic() to fire. It will be interesting to try gcov on the main Samba test suite for smbd. We won't achieve 100% coverage, but it would be nice to get to 90% or more. I also modified the talloc.c sources to be able to be build standalone, using: gcc -c -D_STANDALONE_ -Iinlcude lib/talloc.c that should make it much easier to re-use talloc in other projects (This used to be commit 8d4dc99b82efdf24b6811851c7bdd4af5a4c52c9)
2007-10-10r2674: I have realised that talloc() should have its context marked const, asAndrew Tridgell1-0/+1
a const pointer really means that "the data pointed to by this pointer won't change", and that is certainly true of talloc(). The fact that some behind-the-scenes meta-data can change doesn't matter from the point of view of const. this fixes a number of const warnings caused by const data structures being passed as talloc contexts. That will no longer generate a warning. also changed the talloc leak reporting option from --leak-check to --leak-report, as all it does is generate a report on exit. A new --leak-report-full option has been added that shows the complete tree of memory allocations, which is is quite useful in tracking things down. NOTE: I find it quite useful to insert talloc_report_full(ptr, stderr) calls at strategic points in the code while debugging memory allocation problems, particularly before freeing a major context (such as the connection context). This allows you to see if that context has been accumulating too much data, such as per-request data, which should have been freed when the request finished. (This used to be commit c60ff99c3129c26a9204bac1c6e5fb386114a923)
2007-10-10r2671: we're getting too many errors caused by the talloc_realloc() API notAndrew Tridgell1-2/+2
taking a context (so when you pass a NULL pointer you end up with memory in a top level context). Fixed it by changing the API to take a context. The context is only used if the pointer you are reallocing is NULL. (This used to be commit 8dc23821c9f54b2f13049b5e608a0cafb81aa540)
2007-10-10r2653: - data_blob() and data_blob_talloc() now get automatic namesAndrew Tridgell1-0/+3
- talloc_strdup() and related functions get automatic names (This used to be commit 0cf427d14fe0a19cb3e85b6191be220f3d81080a)
2007-10-10r2649: - used some cpp tricks to make users of talloc() and talloc_realloc()Andrew Tridgell1-2/+12
to get auto-naming of pointers very cheaply. - fixed a couple of memory leaks found with the new tricks A typical exit report for smbd is now: talloc report on 'null_context' (total 811 bytes in 54 blocks) auth/auth_sam.c:334 contains 20 bytes in 1 blocks struct auth_serversupplied_info contains 498 bytes in 33 blocks UNNAMED contains 8 bytes in 1 blocks lib/data_blob.c:40 contains 16 bytes in 1 blocks iconv(CP850,UTF8) contains 61 bytes in 4 blocks iconv(UTF8,CP850) contains 61 bytes in 4 blocks iconv(UTF8,UTF-16LE) contains 67 bytes in 4 blocks iconv(UTF-16LE,UTF8) contains 67 bytes in 4 blocks UNNAMED contains 13 bytes in 1 blocks which is much better than before (This used to be commit 6e721393d03afd3c2f8ced8422533547a9e33342)
2007-10-10r2641: talloc_p() now produces a named talloc pointer, with the nameAndrew Tridgell1-1/+1
auto-derived from the type you are allocating. This is done with basically zero overhead by relying on the stringify operator in cpp producing string constants. the result is that --leak-check nicely names all pointers that come from talloc_p() (This used to be commit bd86ebe2972af4d424df20db1e422919aa6203d0)
2007-10-10r1983: a completely new implementation of tallocAndrew Tridgell1-30/+9
This version does the following: 1) talloc_free(), talloc_realloc() and talloc_steal() lose their (redundent) first arguments 2) you can use _any_ talloc pointer as a talloc context to allocate more memory. This allows you to create complex data structures where the top level structure is the logical parent of the next level down, and those are the parents of the level below that. Then destroy either the lot with a single talloc_free() or destroy any sub-part with a talloc_free() of that part 3) you can name any pointer. Use talloc_named() which is just like talloc() but takes the printf style name argument as well as the parent context and the size. The whole thing ends up being a very simple piece of code, although some of the pointer walking gets hairy. So far, I'm just using the new talloc() like the old one. The next step is to actually take advantage of the new interface properly. Expect some new commits soon that simplify some common coding styles in samba4 by using the new talloc(). (This used to be commit e35bb094c52e550b3105dd1638d8d90de71d854f)
2007-10-10r683: Remove the trailing ; from this macro, so it can be used in an 'if' ↵Andrew Bartlett1-1/+1
expression. (This used to be commit 3813517a8b561e7210ffc32ce861683b057d18eb)
2007-10-10r152: a quick airport commit ....Andrew Tridgell1-0/+4
added ldbedit, a _really_ useful command added ldbadd, ldbdel, ldbsearch and ldbmodify to build solved lots of timezone issues, we now pass the torture tests with client and server in different zones fixed several build issues I know this breaks the no-LDAP build. Wait till I arrive in San Jose for that fix. (This used to be commit af34710d4da1841653624fe304b1c8d812c0fdd9)
2003-12-13added a basic dcerpc endpoint mapper to Samba4. Currently onlyAndrew Tridgell1-0/+5
implements the epm_Lookup() call, I'll add the other important calls soon. I was rather pleased to find that epm_Lookup() worked first time, which is particularly surprising given its complexity. This required quite a bit of new infrastructure: * a generic way of handling dcerpc policy handles in the rpc server * added type checked varients of talloc. These are much less error prone. I'd like to move to using these for nearly all uses of talloc. * added more dcerpc fault handling code, and translation from NTSTATUS to a dcerpc fault code * added data_blob_talloc_zero() for allocating an initially zero blob * added a endpoint enumeration hook in the dcerpc endpoint server operations (This used to be commit 3f85f9b782dc17417baf1ca557fcae22f5b6a83a)
