It is an implementation of the "Object Pool" pattern with lazy instantiation and lazy destruction. The pool is a growable array. It can only grow larger. Packets are represented by an integer, which is an index in this array. The standard "pure" packets (the ones which use a flat memory buffer) have recovery for resource depletion (main memory). If an out of memory condition is met on allocation of a new package, the garbage collector kicks in and frees unused packets until the out of memory condition is solved. Since an out of memory condition can be fatal for other parts of the program, pdp also supports a memory limit, to ensure some kind of safety margin. The "not so pure" packets should resolve resource conflicts in their own factory method, since the constructor is responsible for allocating external resources. The standard way to do this is to allocate a packet, free it's resources and allocate a new packet until the resource allocation succeeds. Especially for these kinds of packets, the pdp pool supports an explicit reuse method. This returns a valid packet if it can reuse one (based on the high level type description). Packets that don't have memory managing methods defined in the packet class (Standard packets) are treated as a header concatenated with a flat memory buffer, and can be copied and cloned without problems. So, if a packet contains pointers to other data or code, it can't be a pure packet. The interface to the packet manager contains the following managing methods: * pdp_packet_create: create a new packet * pdp_packet_mark_unused: release a packet * pdp_packet_copy_ro: register a packet for read only use * pdp_packet_copy_rw: register a packet for read/write use (this creates a copy if necessary) * pdp_packet_clone_rw: create a new packet using a template, but don't copy the data ( some types have shortcut methods pdp_packet_new_ which create/reuse a packet unless you are writing a factory method for a packet, you should NEVER call a _create method ) And two methods for raw data access * pdp_packet_header: retreive the header of the packet * pdp_packet_data: retreive the data buffer of the packet (only for static packets) All the methods declared in this header are supposed to be thread safe, so you can call them from the pd and pdp thread. */ #ifndef PDP_PACKET_H #define PDP_PACKET_H #include "pdp_symbol.h" #include "pdp_types.h" // this is legacy stuff: images are basic types #include "pdp_image.h" #include "pdp_bitmap.h" #define PDP_HEADER_SIZE 256 /* all symbols are C-style */ #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif typedef int (*t_pdp_factory_method)(t_pdp_symbol *); //returns bool success /* packet class header */ typedef struct _pdp_class { /* packet manips: non-pure data packets (using external resources) must define these */ t_pdp_packet_method1 wakeup; /* called before returning a reused packet (rc:0->1) */ t_pdp_packet_method2 copy; /* copy data from source packet to destination packet */ t_pdp_packet_method1 cleanup; /* free packet's resources (destructor) */ t_pdp_packet_method1 sleep; /* mark_unused notify: called when refcount reaches zero */ t_pdp_symbol *type; /* type template for packet class */ t_pdp_factory_method create; /* the constructor: create a packet with uninitialized data */ }t_pdp_class; /* TODO: implement garbage collection for fobs.
