19 /* To use the dynarray facility, you need to include
20 <malloc/dynarray-skeleton.c> and define the parameter macros
21 documented in that file.
22
23 A minimal example which provides a growing list of integers can be
24 defined like this:
25
26 struct int_array
27 {
28 // Pointer to result array followed by its length,
29 // as required by DYNARRAY_FINAL_TYPE.
30 int *array;
31 size_t length;
32 };
33
34 #define DYNARRAY_STRUCT dynarray_int
35 #define DYNARRAY_ELEMENT int
36 #define DYNARRAY_PREFIX dynarray_int_
37 #define DYNARRAY_FINAL_TYPE struct int_array
38 #include <malloc/dynarray-skeleton.c>
39
40 To create a three-element array with elements 1, 2, 3, use this
41 code:
42
43 struct dynarray_int dyn;
44 dynarray_int_init (&dyn);
45 for (int i = 1; i <= 3; ++i)
46 {
47 int *place = dynarray_int_emplace (&dyn);
48 assert (place != NULL);
49 *place = i;
50 }
51 struct int_array result;
52 bool ok = dynarray_int_finalize (&dyn, &result);
53 assert (ok);
54 assert (result.length == 3);
55 assert (result.array[0] == 1);
56 assert (result.array[1] == 2);
57 assert (result.array[2] == 3);
58 free (result.array);
59
60 If the elements contain resources which must be freed, define
61 DYNARRAY_ELEMENT_FREE appropriately, like this:
62
63 struct str_array
64 {
65 char **array;
66 size_t length;
67 };
68
69 #define DYNARRAY_STRUCT dynarray_str
70 #define DYNARRAY_ELEMENT char *
71 #define DYNARRAY_ELEMENT_FREE(ptr) free (*ptr)
72 #define DYNARRAY_PREFIX dynarray_str_
73 #define DYNARRAY_FINAL_TYPE struct str_array
74 #include <malloc/dynarray-skeleton.c>
75
76 Compared to scratch buffers, dynamic arrays have the following
77 features:
78
79 - They have an element type, and are not just an untyped buffer of
80 bytes.
81
82 - When growing, previously stored elements are preserved. (It is
83 expected that scratch_buffer_grow_preserve and
84 scratch_buffer_set_array_size eventually go away because all
85 current users are moved to dynamic arrays.)
86
87 - Scratch buffers have a more aggressive growth policy because
88 growing them typically means a retry of an operation (across an
89 NSS service module boundary), which is expensive.
90
91 - For the same reason, scratch buffers have a much larger initial
92 stack allocation. */
