2007-10-10r6075: added talloc_enable_null_tracking() (asked for by lifeless)Andrew Tridgell1-0/+8
(This used to be commit 40b8ee186af3e7f771c680dbbb03fdcf559bf103)
2007-10-10r6033: Patch from 'lifeless' to clarify behaviour with NULL pointers.Andrew Bartlett1-0/+1
Andrew Bartlett (This used to be commit 48c518796797f021c9c7f319ca8cd0a0c185f64c)
2007-10-10r5939: improve talloc_realloc() docs after feedback from lifelessAndrew Tridgell1-1/+5
(This used to be commit 301cbb0d12919f83d6b735c2e23b49fb49d5394d)
2007-10-10r4793: minor doc updatesAndrew Tridgell1-15/+9
(This used to be commit ad1af519eb1a138e44cc94676f845b8ba65e3371)
2007-10-10r4790: added type checking helper macros in talloc. These take advantage ofAndrew Tridgell1-0/+32
the type names that talloc already keeps around for pointers, and allows the user to type check void* private pointers. It can also be used to implement polymorphism in C, as I'm sure someone would have pointed out to me sooner or later :-) (This used to be commit c283e1a3efac3a92e29a35856e20eb61ef4c221e)
2007-10-10r4591: - converted the other _p talloc functions to not need _pAndrew Tridgell1-21/+28
- added #if TALLOC_DEPRECATED around the _p functions - fixes the code that broke from the above while doing this I fixed quite a number of places that were incorrectly using the non type-safe talloc functions to use the type safe ones. Some were even doing multiplies for array allocation, which is potentially unsafe. (This used to be commit 6e7754abd0c225527fb38363996a6e241b87b37e)
2007-10-10r4550: talloc() is now typesafe. It is exactly equivalent to the old ↵Andrew Tridgell1-20/+20
talloc_p() macro. Use talloc_size() if you want the old behaviour. I have kept talloc_p() as an alias for now. Once we change all calls to be plain talloc() then we can remove it. (This used to be commit 2011bbeb841fd6bfccf3d44a49f79203f7f55baa)
2007-10-10r4547: - added talloc_new(ctx) macro that is a neater form of the common ↵Andrew Tridgell1-0/+9
talloc(ctx, 0) call. - cleaned up some talloc usage in various files I'd like to get to the point that we have no calls to talloc(), at which point we will rename talloc_p() to talloc(), to encourage everyone to use the typesafe functions. (This used to be commit e6c81d7c9f8a6938947d3c1c8a971a0d6d50b67a)
2007-10-10r4479: added the function talloc_autofree_context() which returns a talloc ↵Andrew Tridgell1-0/+6
context that will automatically be freed on program exit. This is useful for reducing clutter in leak reports (This used to be commit cf73dda652e0a121901f22771104be6751c0fcb9)
2007-10-10r4473: - moved talloc into its own lib/talloc/ areaAndrew Tridgell1-0/+492
- added gcov flags to Makefile.talloc - expanded talloc testsuite to add a test for realloc with a child ptr - fixed a bug in talloc_realloc() with realloc of a ptr that has child ptrs (This used to be commit 98b5f73c1ba34d7576c5995069b485c1c5ede324)
