The interface to this mechanism is made available via this file, with the following caveats: - The interface may change (or perhaps even be removed, though that isn't likely until VxWorks itself provides similar functionality) in future releases - i.e. you must always use the version of this file that comes with the Erlang release you are using. - Disaster is guaranteed if you use the mechanism incorrectly (see below for the correct way), e.g. allocate memory with the "tracking" version of malloc() and free it with the "standard" version of free(). - The mechanism (of course) incurs some performance penalty - thus for a simple program you may be better off with careful programming, making sure that you do whatever close()/free()/etc calls that are appropriate at all exit points (though if you need to guard against taskDelete() etc, things get messy...). To use the mechanism, simply program your application normally, i.e. use open()/close()/malloc()/free() etc as usual, but #include this file before any usage of the relevant functions. NOTE: To avoid the "disaster" mentioned above, you *must* #include it in *all* (or none) of the files that manipulate a particular file descriptor, allocated memory area, etc. Before any task that uses this utility is loaded (which includes the erlang emulator), the reclaim.o object file has to be loaded and the function reclaim_init() has to be called. reclaim_init should be called only _ONCE_ in a systems lifetime and has only a primitive guard against multiple calls (i.e. a global variable is checked). Therefore the initialization should occur either in the start script of the system or (even better) in the usrInit() part of system initialization. The object file itself should be loaded only once, so linking it with the kernel is a good idea, linking with each application is an extremely bad dito. Make really sure that it's loaded _before_ any application that uses it if You want to load it in the startup script. If You dont want to have #define's for the posix/stdio names of the file/memory operations (i.e. no #define malloc save_malloc etc), #define RECLAIM_NO_ALIAS in Your source before reclaim.h is included. */ #include /* STATUS, size_t */ #include /* struct sockaddr */ #include /* FILE */ #if defined(__STDC__) #define _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(RetType, FunName, ParamList) \ extern RetType FunName##ParamList #define _RECLAIM_VOID_PTR void * #define _RECLAIM_VOID_PARAM void #define _RECLAIM_VOID_RETURN void #elif defined(__cplusplus) #define _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(RetType, FunName, ParamList) \ extern "C" RetType FunName##ParamList #define _RECLAIM_VOID_PTR void * #define _RECLAIM_VOID_PARAM #define _RECLAIM_VOID_RETURN void #else #define _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(RetType, FunName, Ignore) extern RetType FunName() #define DECLARE_FUNCTION_TYPE(RetType, Type, PList) typedef RetType (* Type)() #define _RECLAIM_VOID_PTR char * #define _RECLAIM_VOID_PARAM #define _RECLAIM_VOID_RETURN #endif /* __STDC__ / __cplusplus */ /* Initialize the facility, on a per system basis. */ _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(STATUS, reclaim_init, (_RECLAIM_VOID_PARAM)); /* File descriptor operations */ _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(int,save_open,(char *, int, ...)); _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(int,save_creat,(char *, int)); _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(int,save_socket,(int, int, int)); _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(int,save_accept,(int, struct sockaddr *, int *)); _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(int,save_close,(int)); /* Interface to add an fd to what's reclaimed even though it's not open with one of the above functions */ _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(_RECLAIM_VOID_RETURN, save_fd, (int fd)); #ifndef RECLAIM_NO_ALIAS #define open save_open #define creat save_creat #define socket save_socket #define accept save_accept #define close save_close #endif /* Stdio file operations */ _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(FILE *, save_fopen, (char *, char *)); _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(FILE *, save_fdopen, (int, char *)); _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(FILE *, save_freopen, (char *, char *, FILE *)); _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(int, save_fclose, (FILE *)); /* XXX Should do opendir/closedir too... */ #ifndef RECLAIM_NO_ALIAS #define fopen save_fopen #define fdopen save_fdopen #define freopen save_freopen #define fclose save_fclose #endif /* Memory allocation */ _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(_RECLAIM_VOID_PTR, save_malloc, (size_t)); _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(_RECLAIM_VOID_PTR, save_calloc, (size_t, size_t)); _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(_RECLAIM_VOID_PTR, save_realloc, (_RECLAIM_VOID_PTR, size_t)); _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(void, save_free, (_RECLAIM_VOID_PTR)); _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(void, save_cfree, (_RECLAIM_VOID_PTR)); #ifndef RECLAIM_NO_ALIAS #define malloc save_malloc #define calloc save_calloc #define realloc save_realloc #define free save_free #define cfree save_cfree #endif /* Generic interfaces to malloc etc... */ _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(_RECLAIM_VOID_PTR, plain_malloc, (size_t)); _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(_RECLAIM_VOID_PTR, plain_realloc, (_RECLAIM_VOID_PTR, size_t)); _RECLAIM_DECL_FUN(void, plain_free, (_RECLAIM_VOID_PTR)); #endif /* _RECLAIM_H */
