From 13b33d2b0a53a588bbec6e9ab9946d40947a84b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fred Fish Date: Fri, 17 Apr 1992 03:01:54 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] * TODO: New file. * attach.c, mcalloc.c, mfree.c, mmalloc.c, mmalloc.h, mmap-sup.c, mmcheck.c, mtrace.c, mrealloc.c, mvalloc.c, sbrk-sup.c: Lint. --- mmalloc/TODO | 15 ++++++++++ mmalloc/sbrk-sup.c | 69 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 84 insertions(+) create mode 100644 mmalloc/TODO create mode 100644 mmalloc/sbrk-sup.c diff --git a/mmalloc/TODO b/mmalloc/TODO new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..46bccc26b4 --- /dev/null +++ b/mmalloc/TODO @@ -0,0 +1,15 @@ +(1) Make implementation changes necessary to allow multiple processes + to use the mmalloc managed region simultaneously. This requires, + at the minimum, some sort of cooperative locking that ensures that + only one process at a time is changing any of the mmalloc managed + data structures (its ok for the mmalloc managed data regions to be + changed at any time since we don't care about their contents). + +(2) In order to support multiple processes using the mmalloc managed + region, the malloc descriptor needs to be broken into two parts, + one part which is specific to the given process and is maintained + separately on a per process basis, and another part which is common + to all processes. As an example, the file descriptor is specific + to a given process, as are the morecore and abortfunc pointers. + However magic[], the version number, the flags field, etc are + common to all processes. diff --git a/mmalloc/sbrk-sup.c b/mmalloc/sbrk-sup.c new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..f6efa1746e --- /dev/null +++ b/mmalloc/sbrk-sup.c @@ -0,0 +1,69 @@ +/* Support for sbrk() regions. + Copyright 1992 Free Software Foundation, Inc. + Contributed by Fred Fish at Cygnus Support. fnf@cygnus.com + +This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify +it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by +the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or +(at your option) any later version. + +This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, +but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of +MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
