33 * Dynamic string pool system, based on an idea from the `sw-tools'
34 * project. Could do with more work to make it really good.

48 /* --- @dspool_create@ --- *
50 * Arguments: @dspool *p@ = address of pool to create
51 * @size_t isz@ = initial size of new strings
55 * Use: Initializes a dynamic string pool.
58 void dspool_create(dspool *p, size_t isz)
64 /* --- @dspool_destroy@ --- *
66 * Arguments: @dspool *p@ = pool to destroy
70 * Use: Releases all of the strings left in the pool. Any strings
71 * not put back into the pool aren't freed. However, the pool
72 * is still valid, and the active strings can be put back and
76 void dspool_destroy(dspool *p)
78 dspoolstr *s = p->free;
80 dspoolstr *n = s->next;
88 /* --- @dspool_get@ --- *
90 * Arguments: @dspool *p@ = pointer to a string pool
92 * Returns: Pointer to a dynamic string.
94 * Use: Fetches a string from the pool. The string has space for at
95 * least @isz@ characters (where @isz@ is the size passed to
96 * @dspool_create@ for the pool).
99 dstr *dspool_get(dspool *p) { dstr *d; DSGET(p, d); return (d); }
101 /* --- @dspool_put@ --- *
103 * Arguments: @dspool *p@ = pointer to a string pool
104 * @dstr *d@ = pointer to a dynamic string from a string pool
108 * Use: Releases a dynamic string back into a string pool. It
109 * doesn't have to be the same pool the string actually came
110 * from, although it does have to have come from some string
114 void dspool_put(dspool *p, dstr *d) { DSPUT(p, d); }
