[tarantool-patches] [PATCH 1/1] small: introduce static allocator

Vladislav Shpilevoy v.shpilevoy at tarantool.org
Sun Apr 28 21:41:19 MSK 2019


Currently Tarantool has a global thread local array of 4 static
buffers, each 1028 bytes. It provides an API tt_static_buf()
allowing to return them one by one in a cycle. But sometimes it
is needed to obtain a bit bigger buffer, or on the contrary -
many smaller buffers. For example, to store a UDP packet -
~1.5Kb, or a small array of integers, probably not fitting into
1028 bytes.

This patch introduces a cyclic allocator having static thread
local buffer with fixed size 4096 * 3 bytes, and provides an API
to slice it by any smaller sizes. When the buffer is done, it is
recycled.

This allocator will allow to drop tt_static buffers and lots of
other static thread local buffers scattered over Tarantool source
code.
