talloc

talloc is a hierarchical pool based memory allocator with destructors. It is the core memory allocator used in Samba, and has made a huge difference in many aspects of Samba4 development.

To get started with talloc, I would recommend you read the talloc guide.

Download

You can download the latest releases of talloc from the talloc directory on the samba public source archive.

Discussion and bug reports

talloc does not currently have its own mailing list or bug tracking system. For now, please use the samba-technical mailing list, and the Samba bugzilla bug tracking system.

Development

You can download the latest code either via git or rsync.

To fetch via git see the following guide:
Using Git for Samba Development
Once you have cloned the tree switch to the master branch and cd into the lib/talloc directory.

To fetch via rsync use this command:

  rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/standalone_projects/lib/talloc .
