Enumeration Type Documentation

lumiera_resource

enum lumiera_resource

Resources known to the resource collector.

Todo:

10/2023 this is a left-over of the »resource-collector« plan

Enumerator
LUMIERA_RESOURCE_MEMORY	memory blocks, context is a pointer to the size_t required
LUMIERA_RESOURCE_END

Definition at line 37 of file safeclib.c.

lumiera_resource_try

enum lumiera_resource_try

Iteration indicator.

Todo:

10/2023 this is a left-over of the »resource-collector« plan Resource collection works iteratively freeing more and more resources. Handlers do not need to obey the request and shall return LUMIERA_RESOURCE_NONE which will then continue with the next handler. This goes through all available handlers until one returns a higher or same value than the current iteration to indicate that it freed enough resources to continue the task. Then control is passed back to the calling loop which retries the resource allocation. LUMIERA_RESOURCE_PANIC is somewhat special since it will always call all registered handlers for all resources, not only the queried one and finally _exit() the application. The exact amounts of resources to be freed for ONE, SOME and MANY in intentionally kept vague the handlers are free to interpret this in some sensible way.

Enumerator
LUMIERA_RESOURCE_NONE	No op, returned by a handler when it did nothing.
LUMIERA_RESOURCE_ONE	try to free one or really few of this resources
LUMIERA_RESOURCE_SOME	try to free a small reasonable implementation defined amount of resources
LUMIERA_RESOURCE_MANY	try to free a bigger implementation defined amount of resources
LUMIERA_RESOURCE_ALL	free as much as possible
LUMIERA_RESOURCE_PANIC	die!
LUMIERA_RESOURCE_UNREGISTER	When a handler gets unregistered it will be called with this value to give it a chance to clean up the user 'data'.

Function Documentation

LUMIERA_ERROR_DEFINE()

LUMIERA_ERROR_DEFINE	(	NO_MEMORY	,
		"Out of Memory!"
	)

die_no_mem()

static int die_no_mem ( enum lumiera_resource  which, enum lumiera_resource_try *  iteration, void *  context  )

static

placeholder function in case the resource-collector was not installed

Todo:

10/2023 in the early stages of the Lumiera project a centralised resource pooling was considered. On resource shortage, the (planned) resource-collector would attempt to reclaim excess resources. This would allow to use resources (e.g. memory) wastefully as trade-off for performance gains. This concept was never developed beyond an interface draft; most notably it was never clarified how excess resources could have been identified on-demand while in-flight. Today I view this concept as an immature plan and remove the remaining draft code.
