/**
 * @brief Free a chunk of talloc memory.
 *
 * The talloc_free() function frees a piece of talloc memory, and all its
 * children. You can call talloc_free() on any pointer returned by
 * talloc().
 *
 * The return value of talloc_free() indicates success or failure, with 0
 * returned for success and -1 for failure. A possible failure condition
 * is if the pointer had a destructor attached to it and the destructor
 * returned -1. See talloc_set_destructor() for details on
 * destructors. Likewise, if "ptr" is NULL, then the function will make
 * no modifications and return -1.
 *
 * From version 2.0 and onwards, as a special case, talloc_free() is
 * refused on pointers that have more than one parent associated, as talloc
 * would have no way of knowing which parent should be removed. This is
 * different from older versions in the sense that always the reference to
 * the most recently established parent has been destroyed. Hence to free a
 * pointer that has more than one parent please use talloc_unlink().
 *
 * To help you find problems in your code caused by this behaviour, if
 * you do try and free a pointer with more than one parent then the
 * talloc logging function will be called to give output like this:

 * @code
 *   ERROR: talloc_free with references at some_dir/source/foo.c:123
 *     reference at some_dir/source/other.c:325
 *     reference at some_dir/source/third.c:121
 * @endcode
 *
 * Please see the documentation for talloc_set_log_fn() and
 * talloc_set_log_stderr() for more information on talloc logging
 * functions.
 *
 * talloc_free() operates recursively on its children.
 *
 * @param[in]  ptr      The chunk to be freed.
 *
 * @return              Returns 0 on success and -1 on error. A possible

/**
 * @brief Assign a destructor function to be called when a chunk is freed.

 * The function talloc_set_destructor() sets the "destructor" for the pointer
 * "ptr". A destructor is a function that is called when the memory used by a
 * pointer is about to be released. The destructor receives the pointer as an
 * argument, and should return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
 *
 * The destructor can do anything it wants to, including freeing other pieces
 * of memory. A common use for destructors is to clean up operating system
 * resources (such as open file descriptors) contained in the structure the
 * destructor is placed on.
 *
 * You can only place one destructor on a pointer. If you need more than one
 * destructor then you can create a zero-length child of the pointer and place
 * an additional destructor on that.
 *
 * To remove a destructor call talloc_set_destructor() with NULL for the
 * destructor.
 *
 * If your destructor attempts to talloc_free() the pointer that it is the
 * destructor for then talloc_free() will return -1 and the free will be
 * ignored. This would be a pointless operation anyway, as the destructor is
 * only called when the memory is just about to go away.

/**
 * @brief Allocate a talloc pool.
 *
 * A talloc pool is a pure optimization for specific situations. In the
 * release process for Samba 3.2 we found out that we had become considerably
 * slower than Samba 3.0 was. Profiling showed that malloc(3) was a large CPU
 * consumer in benchmarks. For Samba 3.2 we have internally converted many
 * static buffers to dynamically allocated ones, so malloc(3) being beaten
 * more was no surprise. But it made us slower.
 *
 * talloc_pool() is an optimization to call malloc(3) a lot less for the use
 * pattern Samba has: The SMB protocol is mainly a request/response protocol
 * where we have to allocate a certain amount of memory per request and free
 * that after the SMB reply is sent to the client.
 *
 * talloc_pool() creates a talloc chunk that you can use as a talloc parent
 * exactly as you would use any other ::TALLOC_CTX. The difference is that
 * when you talloc a child of this pool, no malloc(3) is done. Instead, talloc
 * just increments a pointer inside the talloc_pool. This also works
 * recursively. If you use the child of the talloc pool as a parent for
 * grand-children, their memory is also taken from the talloc pool.
 *
 * If you talloc_free() children of a talloc pool, the memory is not given
 * back to the system. Instead, free(3) is only called if the talloc_pool()
 * itself is released with talloc_free().
 *
 * The downside of a talloc pool is that if you talloc_move() a child of a
 * talloc pool to a talloc parent outside the pool, the whole pool memory is
 * not free(3)'ed until that moved chunk is also talloc_free()ed.
